Carol Chung Brings Purpose-Driven Approach to COO Role at Econic
Carol Chung brings decades of experience in business development, sales and marketing to her role as Chief Operating Officer at The Econic Company. Prior to joining the Bay Area-based company, Chung was a multi-unit franchise operator and early adopter of a well-known brand in the health, beauty and wellness space. In her current role, she oversees Econic’s strategic initiatives, branding, hiring and retention, and back-of-the-house operational functions.
Chung was part of The Econic Company’s initial core team when the company launched amid the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, and brings a purpose-driven approach to developing, refining, and executing the firm’s mission and vision for the future, both with respect to clients and internal company culture. She is focused on creating a compelling team of brokers and staff who are empowered to solve clients’ unique challenges with creativity, grit, and connection. In her role as a strategic advisor, Chung implements and distills initiatives and operational processes that allow Econic to serve clients in a nimble, people-focused way.
These are just a few reasons Carol Chung is among the California Connect CRE 2026 Women in Real Estate Award winners. The award honors the achievements and inspirational stories of women who have reached respected leadership positions and taken on mentorship roles.
