Tobias L. Heyer

I bring 15+ years of hands-on commercial and operational experience at the intersection of e-commerce, logistics, and AI-driven SaaS — combined with a track record of advising over 20 startups and scaleups, and delivering commercial due diligence for leading PE and VC firms including Goldman Sachs, CVC Capital Partners, Centerbridge, Softbank, Bain, BCG, and McKinsey.
What makes me an effective advisor and board member is the combination of strategic depth and operational credibility. I don%27t just analyse markets — I%27ve built them. As CEO of DepotCity, I scaled a fulfilment platform from zero to over €1M ARR. As Interim CEO of NxtLog (DB Schenker), I delivered a full technology platform from concept to global deployment. And as CRO of foresAIght.ai, I designed and executed the entire go-to-market architecture of an AI SaaS company, doubling revenue within the mandate period.
For AI-powered platforms targeting SMBs and enterprises in European markets, I offer three things that are hard to find in one person: deep knowledge of the European logistics and e-commerce ecosystem, established relationships with resellers, carriers, and distribution partners across DACH and beyond, and the commercial architecture experience to help a company translate a great product into structured, scalable sales motion.
Having advised investors across the fulfilment automation, supply chain visibility, last-mile routing, and SaaS logistics space, I understand how to position a platform for the right partners and the right buyers — and how to open doors that take others years to find.
I%27m immediately available and looking for 1–3 high-conviction advisory mandates where I can contribute meaningfully, not just lend a name to a cap table.
