“Chieh is a serial entrepreneur. He co-founded and led Astro Ape (sold to Zynga) and is currently founder and CEO of Boxed. Early on, Chieh realized he could leverage his mobile gaming know-how from Zynga to deliver a better consumer shopping experience in a world driven by mobile and convenience. He and his team started Boxed as a mobile app and have built it into an innovative end-to-end logistics company leveraging software, data and automation. [Three years after launching Boxed in 2013, he led his company to do more than $100 million in annual revenue.] Chieh and Boxed now deliver a delightful consumer experience while competing with the likes of Amazon and Costco.” – Jerry Yang
