Startups like Gopuff and Flexport are racing to inject Amazon DNA into their companies. The results can be magical – or a disaster.
Leaders hired from Amazon may try to run a newer company like they did at the e-commerce giant, said Brittain Ladd, a logistics industry consultant who's worked with companies like Instacart."But it isn't Amazon," he said."If it was that easy, don't you think everyone would be doing that?"The Amazonification strategy works in theory. Amazon's path to becoming a tech giant was carved by its increasingly sophisticated warehouse and logistics network.
Coming from Amazon is"a gold standard with a halo," said Martha Josephson, a partner with headhunting firm Egon Zehnder.Still, the Amazon model has burdened companies that aren't equally flush with resources and workers. When Glick joined the logistics startup Flexe in 2019 as its CTO, he said the company had little insight about the performance of its own warehouses.
