SKILLS
ABOUT REMKO BAKKER
I am an experienced E-commerce, Marketplace, Operations, Business Development and Portfolio, Program & Project Management Leader in the technology industry. Currently I am heading the B2B Logistics Strategic Business Development Team and Project Management Office at the European technology & E-commerce powerhouse Zalando, focussing on building Europe’s leading logistics ecosystem. I have held several leadership positions across the Zalando Group, such as Head of Business Development and Portfolio, Program & Project Management, Team Lead Business Development Logistics Platform Services and Team Lead Partner Integration Management.During my time at Zalando, I have set up, recruited, trained and managed teams in multiple departments. Additionally, I have contributed to building new logistics platform businesses from scratch, such as Multi Channel Fulfillment, Zalando Fulfillment Solution and Zalando Premium Logistics. Moreover, I have successfully (co)-driven several strategic, complex and cross-functional projects which involved up to 50 tech (e.g. back-end, front-end) and non-tech (e.g. payment, customer care, warehousing, marketing, logistics) employees. Before rejoining Zalando in 2016, I was on a sabbatical and took the opportunity to travel in Latin America. In addition, I have taken Web Design, Programming and Agile Product Management courses to learn new professional skills and further develop existing ones. Prior to my sabbatical, I also worked at Zalando as a Customer Satisfaction & Operations Manager at the Zalando E-commerce start-up EMEZA and for the Dutch and Belgian Zalando web shops. I managed, monitored and optimized the daily operations, with a specific focus on customer experience, customer care, logistics, warehousing and payment. Before switching to that role, I was managing the Dutch Search Engine Advertising team.
