Kaboodle Names New CEO
Sunnyvale, Calif.–based social shopping website Kaboodle has named Anne Zehren chief executive officer. Zehren succeeds founder and CEO Manish Chandra, who has left the company to pursue other opportunities.
Zehren previously served as president and chief operating officer of Common Sense Media, a nonprofit child-advocacy organization on media and entertainment.
“Kaboodle is poised to benefit from all of the exciting changes happening in social media, advertising and online retail right now,” Zehren said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to working with the talented team here to leverage the strong website and community they’ve created and take the brand to the next level.”
