Tim Collins, most recently an executive vice president at Flexport and a former top Amazon leader, announced Saturday that he’s joining Blue Origin as vice president of supply chain.
Collins was executive vice president of global operations at logistics giant Flexport, following 1 1/2 years at Gopuff as SVP of operations. He spent more than 20 years at Amazon, including more than four years as VP of global operations.
He also did a stint with Uber as VP of global community operations.
Blue Origin, the Seattle-area space company founded by Jeff Bezos, last year hired former Amazon exec Dave Limp as its CEO.
Limp presided over Amazon’s Echo hardware line and its Alexa voice assistant business, among other initiatives including Amazon’s Project Kuiper satellite project.
Blue Origin is aiming to send an uncrewed lander to the surface of the moon in the next 12 to 16 months. Last month, the space venture lifted up an orbital-class New Glenn rocket on its Florida launch pad.
