“I was an early adopter of Flash technology and knew that one day I’d like to work with this team. They are aggressively re-thinking how parking works and I️ wanted to participate,” said Matt Chaill. “This team is innovative, entrepreneurial and flat-out fun to be around. Big things to come.”

 

“I am confident Cahill’s experience and skills are a great match for FlashParking as we continue to grow our business and differentiate our industry-leading products and services,” said Juan Rodriguez, CEO of FlashParking. “Adding a CSO to our leadership team will enable us to better anticipate both our current and prospective customers’ needs.”
