The company now has a new COO and a new Co-Managing Director for the food business.

The Berlin delivery start-up Urbify has filled two top positions. Both appointments come from well-known companies. Riccardo Mannhöfer was previously at fashion mail order company Asos and will become the new COO. Dennis Hartmann will become Co-Managing Director for the food business; he previously worked at the e-scooter company Tier.

Urbify is a next-day delivery service. The company wants to offer customers the option of delivery roughly as quickly as the US giant Amazon, for example. The service is already available in over 50 cities. The company works with supermarkets such as Rewe and British e-commerce company The Hut Group

Since Asos is also one of the company's customers, Mannhöfer should already be familiar with Urbify. He was the head of delivery solutions in the EU. Hartmann, meanwhile, is familiar with last-mile services, having worked at Tier, a company that rents out e-scooters and bicycles. At Urbify, he will now head up the grocery store division.

Benedikt Stolze founded Urbify in 2019, back then under the name Urbeee. Shortly afterwards, Florian Wienbrügge and Jerolim Dragojevic joined as co-founders. They claim to want to build "the fastest and most sustainable urban transportation network in Europe". Currently, over 5,000 deliveries per day are to be handled by over 400 active drivers.
