The biggest barrier for fashion brands in Europe isn't consumer demand; it's fragmented supply chains. We are erasing those borders through tech-driven logistics. This week, our logistics team had the privilege of walking Krzysztof Gawkowski, Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister through the exact place where this transformation happens: our Zalando Lounge Logistics Center in Bydgoszcz. Scaling across Europe is notoriously complex. We have built this 130,000-square-meter facility to absorb that complexity on behalf of our brand partners. By integrating AI and advanced tech into the "digital brain" of our center, we turn cross-border friction into a calm, highly efficient, and unified operation. Here is how Zalando is powering a true European single market: • Solving Fragmentation: Centralized, smart algorithms route inventory seamlessly across borders, making the entire continent accessible to brands of all sizes. • AI-Driven Efficiency: Advanced automation manages high-volume complexity, ensuring operations remain remarkably calm and scalable. • Strategic Hub: Poland remains a cornerstone of our network and a primary driver of our digital and economic impact across Europe. Building a digital backbone of this scale is only possible through constructive cooperation with forward-thinking government partners. Thank you, Deputy Prime Minister, for the engaging discussion and your recognition of our tech-supported operations. A massive thank you to our incredible local Zalando team in Bydgoszcz and our partners at DHL for running a world-class operation every single day. Szymon Milewski Ministerstwo Cyfryzacji

Tom Christenson has joined Zalando as Senior Vice President B2B! 🚀 In our B2B business, we are building the e-commerce operating system for the fashion and lifestyle industry by opening Zalando's logistics, software and service capabilities to brands and retailers. This helps them scale across Europe by taking the complexity out of cross-border e-commerce: 🟠 ZEOS – gives brands access to our logistics network and services to sell across channels 🟠 Tradebyte – connects brands and retailers with marketplaces and sales channels worldwide 🟠 SCAYLE – helps brands and retailers run their own online shops Partners can pick one service or the full set. And it's working: in 2025, our B2B revenue passed €1 billion, and our operating system serves over 1,200 merchants. Tom is the perfect leader to take this to the next level. He created Seller Fulfilled Prime at Amazon. He then built Uber Freight in Europe, led its combination with sennder Technologies and served as COO of the combined company. Most recently, he was CEO of B2B marketplace TBAuctions. At Zalando, he will lead our overall B2B strategy, bringing the ZEOS, Tradebyte and SCAYLE leadership teams together into one joint B2B team. Welcome to the team, Tom! We are delighted to have you 🎉

On 21 October, Subir Paul, Principal Product Manager, and Antonella Stellacci, VP of Product Lounge, will take the stage at the AI Product Summit in Berlin. They’ll explore how teams can examine a broader set of possibilities, learn alongside customers earlier and commit to shipping only when the evidence warrants it. Their session will dive into why better product decisions always remain a hypothesis to test. They’ll share actionable insights on investigating before prioritising, using prototypes to learn rather than smuggle in commitments and critically assessing AI outputs. Join us at the summit to discuss how we keep teams close to the evidence – and each other – as we navigate tech’s future. We look forward to connecting with you there https://lnkd.in/gTdHQPny 👋 #ZalandoTech #Zalando #LoungeByZalando Product-Led Alliance

When it comes to AI, we don’t only sit in the front row – we are active in shaping the rules behind it. This week, we had the pleasure of hosting Bitkom’s "AI in Finance" session at our Zalando headquarters. As a member, we are excited to exchange ideas on the political framework that influences how companies like ours operate today and tomorrow. Part of the discussion was a session by Dr. Lea Maria Siering, Managing Director at Zalando Payments. Under the title "The AI Act in Payments: From Regulation to Practice", she outlined how we can implement the requirements of the AI Act in a consistent way – always staying true to its intended risk-based approach. Our key takeaway from the evening: As the AI Act moves from theory to reality, continuous exchange between business and authorities remains essential to navigate this new regulatory landscape together. A big thank you to the entire Bitkom team and all the speakers for the inspiring insights. What is your experience with bringing the AI Act into practice? #Zalando #AIinFinance #ZalandoPayments #AIAct #DigitalFinance

Running 42.195 kilometers isn't the hardest part of a marathon. It’s making peace with the 5:00 AM alarm, the self-doubt, and life getting in the way. As a main sponsor of the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON, our "Run Like a Local" initiative proved that running creates community. Today, we’re taking a step deeper behind the scenes with the release of our exclusive documentary: "Why I Run". The film follows three athletes, Eva, Emily and Biel over months of relentless preparation. Whether you run to quiet a racing mind, rebuild your identity, or share a stride with someone you trust - everyone has a reason to step up to the starting line. Our goal at Zalando isn't just to supply high-performance gear. It's to help every runner find their rhythm, their reason, and their sense of belonging.
