LOS ANGELES, June 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ChowNow, the leading online ordering and marketing platform for restaurants, today announced that Jocelyn Mangan has joined its Board of Directors. Mangan’s appointment expands the company’s Board of Directors to five members. With more than two decades of experience leading consumer product development, Mangan will advise the company as it expands its consumer strategy and takeout ordering capabilities.
Mangan was previously Chief Operating Officer at Snag, and before that SVP Product for OpenTable, where she spent ten years defining the vision, strategy, and development of OpenTable's products. Mangan has also held senior roles at Ticketmaster.
“An accomplished businesswoman and an outspoken leader in her field, Jocelyn’s unparalleled experience leading the development of best-in-class products in the hospitality industry will be invaluable to our company’s growth,” said ChowNow CEO and co-founder Chris Webb. “As we continue to roll out new services to our restaurant partners and consumers, we look forward to using Jocelyn’s expertise to provide value and unparalleled dining experiences across the board.”

Mangan is also the Founder of Him for Her, a nonprofit aimed at increasing the number of women on for-profit boards of directors.
