Jill on Money with Jill Schlesinger

Today is part two of an interview with Chieh Huang, the CEO of Boxed, an online and mobile membership-free wholesale retailer that offers direct delivery of bulk-sized packages.Founded in 2013, there’s really one simple idea behind Boxed: make shopping for bulk easy, convenient and fun, so you can focus on the things that really matter. But there’s much more going on behind the scenes, especially in the HR department, and that’s really what got me interested in having this conversation.Chieh Huang has such a refreshing perspective when it comes to his employees that it’s hard not to be a fan.Have a money question?
