We didn’t build this from a boardroom. We built it from a broken fleet.
Binny was founded in 2018 by Igor Salgues — not because he saw a gap in a market research report, but because he watched shared-mobility operators make the same mistake in city after city: outsourcing field operations to generalist staffing agencies who didn’t understand what a cold thermal case at 03:00 actually costs in lost morning rides.
The math was simple and brutal. A vehicle that doesn’t swap overnight doesn’t deploy at 07:00. A vehicle that doesn’t deploy at 07:00 doesn’t generate revenue. A fleet running at 74% uptime instead of 92% doesn’t just underperform — it bleeds cash quietly, across every line of your P&L, until you’re in a difficult conversation with your board.
We started in Norway. One market, one crew, one contract. We proved that a specialist 3PL partner — one who hires in-market, logs every swap, and owns the SLA — could do what a generalist agency never could: show up consistently and make the numbers move. Then Stockholm. Then Copenhagen. Then Berlin and Lisbon.
Each expansion taught us something a platform can’t: that field operations in shared mobility are hyper-local. What works in Oslo doesn’t automatically work in Munich. Language, permit timelines, crew culture, municipal response expectations — they’re different in every city. So every time we entered a market, we hired someone who had already operated a shared fleet there.
Today we operate across five EU markets with a team who have, collectively, thousands of hours of overnight shift experience. We have no sales team. We have no slide deck. We have an ops call and a one-page diagnostic — because operators who know their numbers don’t need a presentation. They need answers.

WHO RUNS IT
We don’t hire out of agency backgrounds. We hire people who have carried a pager at 03:00.
That line is our actual hiring policy. Every country manager who joins Binny has operated a shared-mobility fleet before they joined us. Not managed a logistics team generically — operated scooters and bikes, in cities, overnight, with the pressure of a municipal SLA breathing down their neck.
That means when your Stockholm uptime drops on a Tuesday and you need an answer by Thursday, your country manager isn’t escalating to a regional director who escalates to a VP who pulls a report. They’re already on the street with the answer.
Igor Salgues
Founder & CEO · Oslo
Igor built Binny because he believed the only way to run shared-mobility field ops reliably was to build a team that would never outsource accountability. Seven years later: five markets, zero missed SLA reports. He takes the first ops call with every new operator personally.
Hashim Khawaja
Country Manager · Sweden & Denmark
Hashim manages field operations across Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Copenhagen, and Aarhus. He was in shared mobility before Binny. He knows what a 240-vehicle no-pair Monday looks like from the inside — which is why he built the checklists that prevent it happening twice.
Every new operator gets a 30-minute call with a country manager — not a sales rep. We read your last 30 days of ride and swap data before we get on the call. You leave with a one-page diagnostic of exactly what’s broken and how we’d fix it.
No deck. No follow-up sequence. No nurture emails. If the diagnostic is useful, you’ll call us back.
We run the overnight window, the morning deploy, and everything in between. Our crews are locally hired in every city we operate. Every swap, every repair, every deploy is logged in one operations system that your team can see into.
We don’t sell software. We don’t sell consulting. We sell uptime.

Who runs it.
Founded in 2018 by Igor Salgues. Country operations led by in-market managers, including Hashim Khawaja (Sweden, Denmark). Every country manager has operated shared-mobility fleets before joining Binny. We do not hire out of agency backgrounds — we hire people who have carried a pager at 03:00.
Blended: base fee for fixed investment (crew, warehouse, vans), variable fee per operation or per-deploy, bonus/penalty tied to agreed uptime SLA. If you lose rides, we lose margin. Structure is worked out on the audit call, not on a brochure.
