Samuel Hemmings

Operations leader with 10+ years scaling high-growth logistics and tech ventures across Europe and the US.

I’ve built teams of 1,000+, turned underperforming sites into national leaders, and helped companies scale from startup to $25M ARR and beyond. At Zapp, I launched Netherlands ops from zero to €25M+ ARR, leading 1,300 staff and achieving top-tier delivery precision (Level 5 Sigma DPMO).

At Amazon, I turned two of the UK’s lowest-performing stations into top 3 performers through Six Sigma, KPI dashboards, and deep team development. I’ve also helped scale global systems overseeing €15M in CapEx and 27 facilities across 12 countries as Head of Production & Service at Bird.Whether it’s last-mile, wellness services, or mobility, I thrive where growth and complexity meet.

I partner with founders, investors, and teams to build scalable, data-led operations that drive profit, customer loyalty, and sustainability. Ops Experience | Passionate about tech, transformation, and execution
