After running strategic sales at the ‘Uber for tow trucks’ Urgent.ly, leading business development at deCarta until the Uber acquisition, and building INRIX’s real-time traffic sales up when connected GPS sensors were just coming online — Tom joins Mapbox.
“It’s an amazing time to join this team. Yesterday Mapbox collected 250M miles of anonymized telemetry data, feeding into maps and real-time API’s. The industry has never seen this amount of real-time data. We can give companies ever more accurate traffic data and route optimization to drive efficiency wins and new products. Ultimately it is the quality of the product that gets me really excited and I’m looking forward to bringing this to the larger market.”
Tom brings incredible industry perspective. As Strategic Accounts Lead for Transportation and Logistics, Tom’s deep experience in fleet, automotive, traffic, and mapping will expand our work in last mile delivery, ride hailing, line haul, and fleet management.
