Rise Digital Media has named Jonathan Slade (pictured) as Senior Account Director. He is an experienced member of the public transport technology sector and has joined from INEO Systrans UK, where he was Head of UK Sales.
Speaking about the appointment, Rise Digital Media CEO Scott James says: “I am delighted to be welcoming Jonathan. His wide industry experience coupled with his strong technical background makes him a great addition to our account management and business development team.
“We have made significant progress with the rollout of our integrated software systems in the last few years, providing many of the UK’s leading coach and bus operators with transformational digital solutions – vehicle (Bus Open Data Service) tracking, mobile ticketing, cashless payment systems, onboard screens and announcements, passenger and driver apps – and we continue to invest in the platform, our products and our highly skilled team members.
“Jon’s understanding of our industry, along with a great knowledge of digital transport solutions, will help our customers to achieve the very best outcomes, improve efficiencies and enhance passenger experience.”
Adds Mr Slade: “I cannot wait to join the team at Rise in what is an exciting time for the business. With many operations now required to provide live vehicle location and tracking data, and services needing to offer audio and visual onboard announcements, I look forward to engaging with customers old and new on how the suite of products and services can help them to meet these new requirements.”
