Summary
MJ Chun (also credited as MJ Burk Chun) is a co-founder and Vice President of Product and Design at Serve Robotics, where she leads product strategy and design for the company’s fleet of autonomous sidewalk delivery robots. Before Serve, she spent 17 years leading product and live-services development at Anki, BigCommerce, and Electronic Arts, including work on Anki’s consumer robot Cozmo.
Career
Chun holds a Bachelor of Arts with High Honors from Swarthmore College. Her early career centered on product and live-services leadership for video games and streaming services at Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA), before moving into e-commerce as a product leader at marketplace platform BigCommerce (NASDAQ: BIGC) (Serve Robotics investor relations).
She later joined consumer robotics company Anki as a product management director, where she worked on Cozmo, a small companion robot designed to teach children computational thinking through play. In a 2018 interview with VentureBeat about a holiday software update for Cozmo, Chun described adding storyboarding features that let users write simple scripts for the robot, and discussed Anki’s efforts — including a partnership with the Carnegie Science Center — to build coding curricula around the toy (VentureBeat).
Chun subsequently joined Postmates as a Director, heading up product strategy for the company’s internal robotics division, Postmates X — the team that would become Serve. When Uber spun the division out as an independent company in January 2021, she co-founded Serve Robotics alongside Ali Kashani and Dmitry Demeshchuk, taking on the role of Vice President of Product and Design (TechCrunch).
At Serve, Chun has led design and product development for the company’s autonomous delivery platform as it scaled from a single market in Los Angeles to multiple major U.S. metro areas, overseeing the human-centered design work behind robots intended to navigate safely and approachably alongside pedestrians. In March 2026, she was named to Inc. magazine’s Female Founders 500, an annual list recognizing influential women entrepreneurs; she is also a longtime mentor with the U.S. State Department’s TechWomen program, supporting women pursuing careers in STEM (Finviz/GlobeNewswire).
