The news from here is that I am starting something new. I am psyched*to be joining*Uber,*working *in Business Development/Partnerships, focused on*creating and managing partnerships with geospatial content & technology suppliers worldwide.Uber has a vision for changing the way people move around. At the core of that vision is a clear understanding of location and place; of understanding where things are and how to optimize the logistics of transportation. *And that means maps and geospatial data. *Uber’s focus on maps and geospatial analysis to solve these problems is a huge part of what attracted me to the company and the position. *I’m looking forward to working with the team there.
This means that I’ll be shutting down Prioleau Advisors. *I’ve been doing this for six years…about five years and six months longer than I thought when I started. *I started in 2009 when location was just starting to have an impact on mobile applications. It *has been a great experience, giving me the chance to look at many aspects of the broader location business. *The technology has evolved and as it has, so have the businesses and opportunities. That’s made it a great place to focus. More importantly, I’ve had a chance to talk to, meet with and work for many of the extraordinary*people who make up this business. *To those who have supported me in the past six years, a heartfelt thanks. *The experience exceeded my expectations.
The great thing about this is that it isn’t a goodbye. *In my new role, I’ll continue to be deeply involved in the geo world, albeit from a different angle. *This’ll be fun.
