Few people know the mapping industry as well as Marc Prioleau. He was a crucial early advisor to our team as we raised our first round of investment. After a stint at Uber, Marc is coming home to our business development team bringing decades of experience. Most recently at Uber, he led data sourcing closing more than 30 upstream licensing deals just last year.
Marc comes back to Mapbox at a critical time. Maps are no longer add-on features — they’re core to mobile products like Uber. Our platform based on a fusion of open data and realtime user feedback makes it possible for any developer to have constantly improving maps, location search, and traffic-aware directions in their app.
I am super excited to have Marc on our team. Things are about to get very interesting.
