Ethnic egrocer, Weee!, has announced three executive appointments as the company expands to meet the growing demands of its customers nationwide. New appointments to the leadership team include Board Members James McCann and Vivek Subramanian, and Rudy Darmawan, SVP of engineering.
The additions come on the heels of the recent appointment of filmmaker, Jon M. Chu, as chief creative officer.
"Weee!'s recent appointments bring a depth of experience in grocery, retail, and e-commerce to our leadership bench and our board of directors," said Larry Liu, CEO and founder, in a statement. “We're at a pivotal moment in the transformation of how ethnic consumers purchase food, celebrate traditions, and experience culture. Weee! is heading that transformation, and I'm thrilled to see what these leaders will bring as we continue to innovate, grow, and scale.”
Darmawan brings more than 20 years of experience in computer networking, supply chain, and ecommerce fulfillment. Before joining the company, he held senior roles at ecommerce brands such as Coupang, Amazon, and Anko Retail Incorporated.
