Bio
Mansib Rahman is co-founder of Radish Cooperative, a multi-stakeholder delivery and logistics platform co-op that gives merchants, couriers, and consumers a meaningful stake in ownership and decentralized governance. Under his leadership, Radish has expanded across Quebec and into the United States, building a viable community-owned alternative to traditional last-mile platforms.
Prior to Radish, Mansib led the Data and AI Innovation team at Desjardins Group, the largest financial cooperative in North America, where he created DataCup, the first platform to open anonymized banking data to researchers and builders for applied innovation.
Earlier in his career, he founded and operated several restaurants in the hospitality sector. He is the author of a book on building virtual and augmented reality applications using accessible sensor and computer vision tools. He is currently developing a heavy-lift autonomous cargo aircraft through his aerospace venture, Northern Autonomous.
As part of his 2026–2027 ICDE Fellowship, he will reflect on the factors that enabled Radish to succeed and examine how cooperative governance can shape AI-driven logistics systems, advancing community-owned digital infrastructure in the last-mile economy.
