Beyond the Warehouse: Glovo’s Sacha Michaud on Rewriting Retail for Europe

“80% of what we buy is already in our city, we just don’t have visibility.”

Sacha Michaud, Co-founder of Glovo.


David Savage sits down with Sacha to explore how Glovo is building hyper-local, multi-category marketplaces across 23 countries, challenging warehouse-centric e-commerce. We dig into the human decisions behind European scale, operating speed, and culture.

What we cover:

  • Why local-first can beat warehouse-only models

  • Building and operating multi-category marketplaces

  • Speed over perfection: execution rhythms that win

  • Scaling across diverse European markets (ops, regs, payments)

  • Hiring for values and culture fit to sustain growth

Today's show is a candid look at how Glovo is reconnecting consumers with local inventory—and what it takes to build a European tech champion.
