Co-Founder & CEO - AI Reverse Logistics Orchestration Platform

About the role

This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role. The opportunity involves leading a new AI-native reverse logistics orchestration venture.

Market Context

• Global reverse logistics activity is estimated at $700B-$900B annually, with projections exceeding $1T by 2030.
• US consumers returned roughly $743B of merchandise in 2023, accounting for 14-18% of total retail sales.
• In e-commerce-heavy categories, return rates routinely exceed 25-40%, versus approximately 9-10% for in-store purchases.
• Processing a single return typically costs 20-65% of the item's value, and for many operators, returns consume 20%+ of order value while tying up working capital for 30-90 days before financial closure.
• Rising return volumes, traceability expectations, and sustainability pressure are converging to make this a systems problem, not a policy one.
