Background

About Benjamin Schmidtke

Senior Operations Manager passionate about building strong teams, scaling sustainable operations, and creating meaningful public-private impact. With 5+ years of cross-functional experience across micromobility, tech, and public engagement, I drive measurable results by combining data, leadership, and strategic clarity. At Lime, I lead Hamburgs regional operations in Germany — optimizing KPIs, rider growth, and P&L performance while aligning internal teams and external stakeholders. I empower high-performing teams through coaching, process innovation, and a shared commitment to operational excellence. Early experiences in international projects and youth parliaments (e.g. Model European Parliament Berlin & Stockholm) shaped my collaborative mindset and cultural fluency. I bring that same spirit to today’s mobility challenges — building bridges between policy, people, and performance.
