Rathna Sharad: The Transcript

About: Rathna Sharad, founder and CEO of FlavorCloud, has 20+ years of experience working in global supply chain and international trade logistics and has enabled over 10 modern ecommerce experiences, the combination of which has positioned her perfectly to create an “anywhere-to-anywhere” logistics solution that enables any brand to go global. Indeed FlavorCloud, founded in 2018, is a cross-border shipping logistics platform that removes international shipping friction for midsized direct-to-consumer brands enabling them—for the first time—to keep pace with the accelerated demand of international ecommerce. As a founding member of the ad platform team at Microsoft and product leader for Bing Ads, Sharad saw the first signs; with a 2006-era birds eye view of the search ad ecosystem across publishers, it was clear to her: cross-border is the way of the future. She carried her vision into Runway2Street, which she co-founded in 2012, hoping to revolutionize B2C consumer purchasing for good, but in pursuit of that goal, stumbled on an opportunity far greater: solving international shipping for all. This remains Sharad’s focus today at FlavorCloud where she is defining global ecommerce and trade landscape by making international shipping as simple as domestic, allowing the pathways of modern consumer shopping behavior to operate as organically as our social communities and connections online already do. She is is an avid traveller, scuba diver and loves to explore cultures through the lens of food and fashion.
