Khaled Naim shared this🚨 Some big news to share! 🚨 After more than 10 incredible years and hundreds of millions of deliveries powered, as of this morning I am transitioning from CEO to Executive Chairman of Onfleet. I am thrilled to announce that Andrew Travis, my longtime partner in crime and our current COO, will be taking over as CEO. They say a founder’s job is to fire themselves from every role until there’s nothing left to do. Well, the hardest part isn't doing the work. It’s knowing exactly when to pass the torch to someone who can run the next leg of the race faster than you can. Why now? Simply put: The business is flying. We’re shipping product faster than ever, hitting new delivery volume highs, and growing faster than we have in years. The company is ready for a leader who lives and breathes operational scale. That leader is Andrew. Andrew knows the Onfleet DNA better than anyone. He’s been in the trenches with me since we were just a few guys in a room with an idea (and cardboard boxes and a ping pong table). As our second employee, Andrew’s been there steadfast, by my side, through pretty much all the ups and downs, the twists and the turns, building the business into what it is today. I’m leaving the execution in the most capable hands I know. As for me? I’m not going far. As Executive Chairman, I’ll be focused on big-picture strategy and trading my daily stand-ups for board meetings. On a personal note, leading this team has been the privilege of my lifetime. Onfleet has always been more than just a company to me; it has been my second home. But the thing that got me out of bed every single morning wasn’t the ARR or the product releases. It was the human impact of what we do. It was working alongside our incredibly talented team to enable our customers and their drivers to do their best work. Just the other day, I saw an app store review come in from a driver titled “My favorite app.” It read: “This is where I make money to take care of my family, so it is my favorite.” It stopped me in my tracks. It is easy to get lost in the software, the tickets, and the KPIs. But that review was a reminder that behind every task we power, there is a fellow human being trying to make a living, and a business owner trying to thrive. Because of the Onfleet team’s hard work, thousands of businesses are growing and tens of thousands of drivers are providing for their families with less stress, greater efficiency, and more delight. To the team, our customers, and our drivers: Thank you. 🙏 Onwards! 🚀

Khaled Naim posted this🚚 Speed + Precision = Growth 📈 In an era where consumers expect their orders not just “soon” but "now", two retailers are showing how a sharper last-mile experience pays off: 🔹 Home Depot reports that investing in faster fulfillment (using both stores and DCs), plus better in-stock visibility, is delivering improved customer satisfaction and driving engagement and sales: https://lnkd.in/dpuY6VnK 🔹 Walmart’s e-commerce business surged 26% in Q3 as more shoppers opt for same-day or sub-hour delivery, showing that when you deliver fast and reliably, shoppers respond: https://lnkd.in/dBWp8ZJZ Here’s the takeaway for retailers: 👉 Faster delivery with accurate ETAs isn’t just a value add. It’s a competitive lever. When you reduce friction, make timing reliable, and optimize supply-chain + in-store fulfillment as one ecosystem, you boost customer trust and frequency, which in turn fuels sales and loyalty. The winners aren’t just the ones who offer fast delivery. They’re the ones who make it consistently predictable and delightful. And Onfleet helps thousands of retailers do both of those things. #Retail #Ecommerce #SupplyChain #LastMile #CustomerExperience #Fulfilment

Khaled Naim shared thisJust wrapped our Onfleet exec team offsite and I’m feeling incredibly grateful. 😊 I get to work with a team of brilliant, driven leaders who also know how to not take themselves too seriously. One minute we’re in heated debate about product strategy, the next minute we’re elbow-deep in ramen noodles (which we made ourselves!). And then going full Squid Game on each other at Sandbox VR. 🦑 ☠️ As our CTO, Kjell H., said yesterday: “Onfleet has a truly special culture where you can argue to the brink of tears in the boardroom and then be actually crying of laughter five minutes later.” 🤣 We’re building some amazing new products to power the future of last mile delivery and having a great time doing it. Can’t wait to share what we've been cooking (other than ramen) 🚀 P.S. We're hiring! Check out our open positions here: https://lnkd.in/g7hC_uS

Khaled Naim reposted thisKhaled Naim reposted this🚀 We’re hiring a Senior Engineering Manager @ Onfleet We’re growing, and we’re looking for a strong, grounded Engineering Manager to lead one of our cross-functional teams. At Onfleet, leadership isn’t about hovering, but it’s not about detaching either. You create the conditions for smart execution: pushing clarity, enabling ownership, and stepping in hard when you have to. You don’t confuse autonomy with drift. When things are working, you support and amplify. When they’re not, you intervene early, directly, and with context. You have a sharp eye for inefficiency and a lean mindset. You spot waste in tools, process, team dynamics, and delivery flow, and you work methodically to remove friction, so the team moves faster, with more purpose, and less noise. You make the environment better, not just the output. This role is about: ✨ Building a high-performing, psychologically safe team that delivers ✨ Delegating to empower, and pairing it with transparency and follow-through ✨ Coaching with honesty, acting with clarity, and owning outcomes ✨ Partnering tightly with design and product to drive sharp execution ✨ Keeping the mission visible and the team aligned to it We operate remotely across the US, Canada, and Latin America. We’re asynchronous by default, focused, and outcome-driven. If you’ve built teams that ship and grow through calm and crisis, we want to hear from you.

Khaled Naim shared this🚛 Big news at Onfleet! We’ve just turbocharged our board with the addition of Rob Howard as our newest independent director! Rob is the real deal — founder of two successful logistics startups: Ensenda (acq. by Transforce) and Grand Junction (acq. by Target), ex-VP of Technology at Target, and now CEO of Kindred Motorworks where vintage cars meet cutting-edge tech. 🚗⚡ He’s scaled companies, raised over $100M, and currently sits on the board of Shipt. Basically, if it moves from A to B, Rob’s probably figured out how to optimize, scale, and deliver it. 📦📈 We’re thrilled to welcome Rob to the Onfleet crew as we keep truckin' on our mission to build the future of last-mile delivery — smarter, faster, and of course, more delightful. 🏁 ⭐ Welcome aboard, Rob — onwards! 🛻💨

Khaled Naim shared thisWe just wrapped up an incredible Onfleet Customer Advisory Board event in San Francisco with a powerhouse group of half a dozen of our amazing customers: Total Wine & More, Capsule, Sway, Eaze, The Rounds, and Fair Ortho Logistics, LLC. It was an energizing 24 hours of collaborative brainstorming, deep product insights, and a memorable evening at the Giants stadium! ⚾ The conversations were rich, honest, and deeply motivating. It’s moments like these that remind us how lucky we are to build Onfleet with our customers, not just for them. 🙏 Huge thanks to everyone who joined us—your ideas, feedback, and passion are already shaping what’s next at Onfleet. 💡

There are some definite advantages to building a remote team (talent pool, costs, etc) but also some clear disadvantages no matter how the rituals are designed. Definitely takes a lot of thought and consideration to make it work, but there will always be major disadvantages.

Khaled Naim liked thisKhaled Naim liked thisRight now AI adoption is happening at two extremes. You have folks installing openclaw on the weekend and monitoring it all night, and then you have the other 99.5% of knowledge workers who are stuck waiting for IT to ship the AI capabilities they need. That’s why we’ve been maniacal about making agents not only powerful and safe but also *effortlessly* accessible for the marketing, sales, and business teams on the front lines of driving enterprise growth. A natural-language front-end isn’t enough. Business users need a complete solution – an intuitive system for codifying their expertise, deploying it in complex workflows, and connecting to the tools they use every day – without IT bottlenecks. And TODAY we’re releasing enhanced Playbooks & Skills that put MAXIMUM AI-building power in the hands of people closest to the work. Such a fun conversation with Fast Company's Steven Melendez digging into these new capabilities and what they’re unlocking inside The Clorox Company. Truly one of the BEST examples of what happens when you let the business lead. Matt Harker's team manages thousands of SKUs across retail partners. Every product detail page is art and science — claims, legal review, assets, compliance, publishing – across every brand, season, and retailer. Before WRITER, this was sequential, manual, and bottlenecked. They relied on a person to crunch all that stuff, then commission all the assets, check all of it, then publish. With WRITER the biz team used our intuitive building blocks to design the solutions they needed. Brand specific playbooks, seasonal routines that auto-refresh, legal expertise in Skills that’s used org-wide. They’re automatically orchestrating digital shelves that used to eat up weeks, so teams can adapt to new seasons, new demands, new opportunities in an instant and ALWAYS be where their customers are. This saves them over 85% in time and tasks – time they’re now reinvesting into the “art" of marketing. The strategy, the creative revenue-driving campaigns, all the EXCITING STUFF they could never get to before when PEOPLE were handling the bulk of coordination and execution. This is what happens when you match business DRIVE with enterprise POWER. HUGE thanks to Fast Company for including WRITER on this year’s Most Innovative Companies list!

Khaled Naim liked thisKhaled Naim liked thisBeyond excited to share we've closed our $15m Series A - just 18 months since we announced our pre-seed! (link at article in comments) Cocoon is turning on new supply streams of low cost and low carbon cementitious materials for the construction industry; helping the world to keep building at lower cost and lower carbon. We have ambitious scaling plans and are building one of the fastest-moving companies in our industry to make an impact as soon as possible. It's less than 3 years ago that my co-founders and I met through Carbon13, and we've been rapidly moving through the TRL levels to bring our technology and material into the real world. Our next big step is to deploy a small scale, commercial production facility in the US in the next 12 months. I’m delighted to have Jacob Bro at 2150, Guillaume Bazouin at Brick & Mortar Ventures, and Nicholas Shekerdemian at The Venture Collective (TVC) join us on the journey and for the continued support from existing investors Wireframe Ventures, Celsius Industries, Gigascale Capital and SOSV. A big shoutout to Nicole Florack who is one of the most impressively knowledgeable investors in this space! Lastly, a huge thanks goes to the whole Cocoon team and my two brilliant co-founders Freddie Scott and William Knapp - it is only thanks to everyone's hard work we are able to continue on this challenging but fulfilling journey. Onwards and upwards! P.s. We are hiring, so check out our careers page for live roles.

Khaled Naim liked thisKhaled Naim liked thisFour years ago we launched Al-Kindi Club to create a platform for Arab and MENA changemakers across the UK and Europe to share their stories. Especially in difficult times like these: this community feels more important than ever. 30 sessions later I'm still blown away by the depth of talent across the communtiy. We were very lucky this time to have Khaled Helioui 🇹🇳 with us to share his journey across UBS, TA Associates, Bigpoint GmbH and Plural. It's not everyday that you get to speak to somebody who was an early angel investor in Uber and Onfido, calls on Sam Altman for advice, and works with folks early in Anthropic. Khaled had a lot to share, and as always, it made me wish we recorded our sessions. The lessons that resonated with me: - Decide from confidence, not fear 🎯 Conviction beats defensiveness. - There is no single playbook 🧭 Find your edge �� and commit to it. - Resilience is the real differentiator 💪 How much pain are you willing to endure? - Ignore brands. Focus on substance 🔍 Evaluate ideas, not logos. Ask the tough questions. - Intellectual humility is non-negotiable 🧠 Clear thinking requires the ability to change your mind. - Tough markets reward true contrarians 📉➡️📈 Consensus is even less likely to outperform right now. -Who you partner with matters as much as capital 🤝 Alignment compounds — misalignment kills. h/t Layth Al-Qattan The Mosaic Rooms, and Salmaa E.

Khaled Naim liked thisKhaled Naim liked thisRecovering from failure. I've had to bounce back several times in life. My marriage failed, my first startup basically failed, my second startup failed. Each time it's taken me some time where I needed to heal, reset, and refocus. Each time I wasn't sure where life would lead. After my first startup and marriage failed at the same time (man, that was a tough period), it took a trip to India and six months to find a new role. I got lucky. Very lucky. A dream job, really, at McDonald's. It helped me enter the restaurant industry which I have absolutely loved. In 2023, when I'd been CEO at the end, it took me longer. Almost a year. India again helped. Pickleball did too. Like 3 hours a day. Now, thankfully, I'm flourishing. I've embraced fractional work, enjoy my lifestyle, and am making good money. The point of this is to say that if you're having a hard time recovering from failure, it's ok. Let the healing run its course. Forcing yourself to bounce back too quickly because of societal pressure can be counterproductive. Self-care is important. If you're struggling with the rebound and want to talk to someone who's had to do it several times, please reach out.

Khaled Naim liked thisKhaled Naim liked this"Stop delegating AI. Get hands-on yourself.” Colin Kelton *GETS* it. When Colin and his team at Vanguard first got started with agentic AI, they all got in a room and mapped one workflow. They found 37 steps and 16 handoffs to produce ONE EMAIL. Most leaders would've immediately handed that mess to some transformation team and moved on. Colin started rebuilding it himself. He looked at how they could build the process a little differently, how they could actually get from A to B a little bit more direct. When the CMO is in the room, your teams stop waiting around for permission. They just start building too. Suddenly a 700-person marketing org isn't just "using AI,” but redesigning the entire business model around it. The room today in London was FULL of leaders who are driving this inside their orgs. They know rebuilding is now THE job. New org structures, new workflows, new ownership models. All of it. SO many great insights from Colin, Amish Mehta (Boots), Zsuzsanna Blau (VOIS), Michael Walker (Dior), Sara Sheridan (Beauty Pie), AJ Coyne (Monzo Bank), and more.
