Dr. Arne
Jeroschewski

There's a small, precise fact worth sitting with: when a parcel ships anywhere on earth, there are hundreds of data points generated and almost all of them disappear into carrier silos, never seen by the merchant or the customer. For a decade-plus, every e-commerce brand accepted this as the natural state of things. Arne Jeroschewski did not.

His company, Parcel Perform, now processes over 100 million parcel updates daily, connecting merchants with more than 950 logistics carriers across a single SaaS platform. That number - 100 million - is not a vanity metric. It is the daily pulse of a company that turned a logistics data problem into a delivery experience business.

But what makes Jeroschewski interesting is not the platform. It's the path. He holds a PhD in Regulatory Economics - the kind of credential you find at central banks, not startup boardrooms. He cut his professional teeth at McKinsey & Company, working across Europe, Africa, and Asia on telecoms and media projects. He arrived in Singapore in 2010 and never left, building one major company before building the one that would define him.

In 2012, Jeroschewski co-founded ZALORA - Southeast Asia's leading fashion e-commerce platform, launched simultaneously across eight markets. He served as its founding CEO before departing at the end of that year. The Rocket Internet-backed machine moved fast; Jeroschewski moved on. What he took with him was something more valuable than a cap table: a front-row view of what e-commerce logistics actually felt like from the merchant side. Broken. Opaque. Unacceptable.

The middle chapters of Jeroschewski's career read like a deliberate curriculum. After ZALORA, he didn't return to consulting. He went deeper into logistics. First at Singapore Post, where he ran B2C e-commerce operations. Then at DHL eCommerce Asia Pacific, where he became VP of Business Development, leading product development and market entries across the region.

By 2016, he'd seen the problem from every angle: as a merchant needing carrier data, as a carrier building products for merchants, as an operator dealing with the chaos in between. What he hadn't seen was a clean data layer sitting above all of it - one that could tell a Nespresso or a global fashion brand exactly where every parcel was, in real time, across every carrier, in every market.

So he built it.

Parcel Perform's early backers at Wavemaker Partners and Investible funded that thesis. By 2021, when Cambridge Capital and SoftBank Ventures Asia led the $20M Series A, the thesis had become a product with customers like Nespresso on its roster and 100+ employees across Asia-Pacific and Europe.

The company hit profitability before raising its Series A - a detail Jeroschewski notes with quiet precision. Revenue grew 5x from the onset of COVID-19 to the funding round. The pandemic that destroyed many logistics businesses created the exact environment where delivery tracking data became existential for every e-commerce brand on earth.

There's a detail Jeroschewski mentions that most CEOs wouldn't lead with: his team of 187 people spans 14 nationalities and speaks 22 languages - and runs at nearly 50-50 gender split. He calls this an investment in diversity and culture, and frames it as a competitive advantage for a company operating across global markets with different carriers, different consumer expectations, and different logistics norms.

It's not incidental. Jeroschewski came up through one of the most culturally complex business environments on earth - Southeast Asia in the early 2010s, when e-commerce was arriving in eight markets simultaneously, each with different languages, payment systems, infrastructure, and consumer habits. ZALORA's eight-market launch wasn't a marketing stunt; it was a genuine operational challenge that required exactly the kind of multilingual, cross-cultural team-building he's now replicated at Parcel Perform.

His academic background - a PhD in Regulatory Economics, a Diploma from WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management, an exchange at Tecnológico de Monterrey - signals someone who thinks in systems. Not just "how do we track this parcel" but "what are the incentive structures, the data flows, the regulatory environments that determine how logistics works at scale."

His superpower, when asked in an interview: unlimited energy and zero jet lag. No mind-reading, no time travel - just the ability to be present across time zones without the cost. It's the answer of an operator, not an idealist. The global CEO who's done the red-eyes knows that the biggest bottleneck isn't strategy; it's stamina.

Jeroschewski operates out of Singapore - a city he arrived in as a consultant in 2010 and chose to stay in through two major company builds. He's been quoted in The Business Times on Vietnam's e-commerce logistics shakeout. He speaks at DELIVER Europe. He writes CEO guides about AI Commerce strategy. He is, by the evidence, someone who finds the industry legitimately interesting rather than merely profitable.
