Tokash brings more than 15 years of leadership experience in engineering and product development for both large enterprises and emerging companies. Most recently, he led engineering at Booster, where his teams developed features and systems to increase efficiency within logistics and delivery processes. Prior to that, he oversaw engineering teams at organizations including Homestead Technologies and Intuit, including its Grow Your Business Division. He is passionate about creating impact-driven teams that deliver exceptional customer experiences through software.

“We are thrilled to welcome John Tokash to our team,” said Jason Harbert, co-founder and CTO, Flowspace. “John brings a customer-first approach, problem-solving perspective, and a wealth of experience developing innovative solutions that have had a tangible impact on the businesses they serve. With his leadership, we’ll continue to revolutionize the way merchants can orchestrate their fulfillment operations with our OmniFlow software.”
