A New Chapter Begins

Poshmark has officially announced a major CEO transition. After 15 years of leading the fashion resale platform, Manish Chandra will step down as CEO and move into a strategic advisory role on the board.

Chandra co-founded Poshmark in 2011, grew it to over 150 million users, led it through its IPO, and oversaw its acquisition by Naver in 2022. His leadership helped shape Poshmark into a global resale powerhouse.

Starting October 1, 2025, Namsun Kim will take over as CEO. Kim has served as Executive Chairman since April and previously held top roles at Naver, including CFO and President of Investments.
