Kathleen Olstedt

Co-founder, +D

Kathleen has been active in Berlin’s tech scene since 2004. A system thinker at heart, she has always been fascinated by complex ecosystems and the power of cooperation within.

During her journey, she worked as a future researcher for the Daimler Technology & Society Research group, led pilot projects for the Axel Springer SE, managed Investments at IBB Ventures, and coordinated the IoT-European Platforms Initiative.

As Business Development Manager for the Daimler Fleetboard Innovation Hub, she dived into the convoluted landscape of the logistics sector. Quickly it became her mission to bring automation and new business logics to this widely fragmented and inefficient ecosystem. Together with industry partners and startups she founded +D, a consortium to develop a common Supply Chain infrastructure.
