We are also glad to see the likes of Uber, Microsoft and Cubic choosing Moovit’s high-quality [Mobility-as-a-Service (MASS)] platform to power their mobility offering. Uli’s expertise perfectly positions him to assume the role of managing relations with partners such as these, and further strengthen the Moovit brand as we continue to rapidly expand. We are excited to welcome him aboard.”
