It was called “Germany’s big online bet” by Manager Magazin in 2012 and was referring to the brainchild of David Schneider and Robert Gentz, Zalando. At the time, Zalando had already some 4000 staff members in its employ and was active in 14 countries. Today, those figures have grown to 15,000 and 25 respectively. What started as a shoe shop is now a multi-national ecommerce platform that is still leading the way—thanks to its co-founders in Schneider and Gentz who still run the show as co-CEOs.
