Parcel delivery company, HIVED, has announced Leo Mulabdić as its new Vice President Commercial Strategy & Network.
He joins from Amazon where he was the Head of EU Pricing for Amazon Shipping, leading a team responsible for pricing strategy and supporting the commercial team in customer negotiations. With a seven year career at the US online giant, he previously held roles at Amazon Business EU where he managed pricing strategy and product launches.
Founded in 2021 by CEO Murvah Iqbal and CPO Mathias Krieger, HIVED specialises in sustainable, technology driven parcel delivery solutions, tailored to the e-commerce industry.
Mulabdić comments: “No one else is doing end-to-end electric delivery like HIVED. The business has developed the right value proposition combined with a clear market focus, which customers both recognise and appreciate. As HIVED now looks to supercharge the next phase of its growth across the UK, I’m hugely excited to lead our commercial strategy and network to create a fully-integrated and scalable delivery model.”
Iqbal adds: “I am delighted that Leo is joining the HIVED team ahead of an exciting year of growth. We have ambitious plans to scale our delivery network across the UK in 2025 and are continuing to hire top talent to support our growth strategy. Leo’s extensive experience in ecommerce and logistics at the world’s largest delivery company will be invaluable as we scale.”
2024 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS
Online delivery was a key focus area at the sixth edition of the RTIH Innovation Awards.
The awards celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.
Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”
He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”
“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”
Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
