SAN ANTONIO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Athos Commerce today announced the appointment of Chuck Haling as Chief Executive Officer. A growth-driven leader with a track record of building and integrating high-performing software businesses, Haling most recently served as CEO of FieldWare, where he unified two acquired companies into a single high-performance organization.

Haling joins at a pivotal moment for Athos Commerce as the company advances its mission to equip retailers with sharper discovery, smarter personalization, and stronger merchandising agility.
