EROAD has appointed Barry Einsig to the board as a North American independent director.
Einsig is based in Pennsylvania and brings considerable transport knowledge of the market as well as global automated and connected vehicle expertise.
He is currently a principal at consulting group CAVita, providing services to cities, governments and companies on smart cities, transport mobility and connected and automated vehicle systems.
He built and implemented the global strategy for multinational Cisco across all modes of transport and mobility, growing the company’s automotive and transportation revenue by 32% on an annualized basis over 5 years.
He has held directorships of The Infrastructure Security Partnership; vice chair American Public Transport Association R&T; chair Intelligent Transportation Society of America ATMS; was the chair and founding member of Joint Council on Transit Wireless Communications; and has advised Singapore’s Ministry of Transportation on its Highly Automated Vehicle Programme.
In addition, Einsig has reviewed work undertaken by the Transportation Research Board and created patent-approved technology used in public safety networks.
“Barry’s command of the North American transport market, combined with his extensive and global experience in connected vehicles and smart transport networks, rounds out the Board’s expertise that is successfully guiding EROAD’s continued growth,” EROAD chairman Graham Stuart says.
North America is now an established market for EROAD and Einsig’s role will help maintain the company’s growth strategy.
“Our board review identified strengthening our transport-technology expertise.
“Understandably this is an incredibly specialized field, requiring an extensive search to find someone who was equally passionate about our core purpose of making safer, more productive roads,” Stuart says.
