Zalando Co-CEO: Building Europe's Fashion Giant, AI in Retail and the European Dream

What does it take to build a European tech champion from scratch? Nicolai Tangen sits down with Robert Gentz, co-founder and co-CEO of Zalando, to trace the journey from selling flip-flops to building Europe’s leading online fashion platform with more than 60 million customers. Gentz shares how Zalando scaled at unprecedented speed, the flywheel behind its expansion across categories and countries, and how early customer learning shaped everything that followed. The conversation explores how data and AI are reshaping fashion—from sizing and personalization to logistics and returns—and why Gentz believes in a “European Dream” that keeps entrepreneurial talent and companies on the continent. A wide-ranging conversation on scale, leadership, and Europe’s future in tech. Tune in!
