Former Hermes manager goes to Delivery Green

Stephan Böhm will take over as head of sales at the logistics start-up from May 1. In addition, three other executives are joining the company.

As many as four new executives will be working for the logistics start-up Liefergrün from May 1. Stephan Böhm, former regional sales manager for Germany North/East at Hermes, will head sales at the start-up. Niko Uphoff, who was previously at Wunder Mobility and Veloyo, will become CTO. Rim Breuer , who previously developed logistics concepts at Angel Last Mile GmbH and Liefery, will join the team as Head of Logistics. Fikrete Asslani will also become Head of People.

The company is pleased and proud to have gained experts in Stefan Böhm, Rim Breuer, Niko Uphoff and Fikrete Asslani who know the market and the challenges of a growing company, says Niklas Tauch, CEO and co-founder. "They know exactly how we can improve as a company and how we can improve the entire delivery process."

Liefergrün sees itself as a leading provider of sustainable deliveries in Germany. Founded in 2020 by Tauch, Max Schleper and Robin Wingenbach, the start-up aims to make the last mile of logistics emission-free, fair and social. To achieve this, the Münster-based startup relies on cargo bikes and e-vans. So far, Liefergrün says it is represented in 17 of Germany's 25 largest cities. "In the near future," an expansion to other European metropolises such as London, Paris and Madrid is planned. For these plans, the start-up also recently raised three million euros in a financing round. The money came from Speedinvest led as well as Norrsken VC and business angels from Tier, Schüttflixx and Klarna.
