Zonar announced a key transition within its executive team with the appointment of Michael Gould to president and CEO.

With more than 20 years of experience leading teams in SaaS based businesses, consulting, transportation, and product engineering, Gould brings expertise in sales, strategy, supply chain oversight, and project execution to this executive position.

Gould’s Past Roles That Shaped His Future

Gould comes to this new role after nearly five years as chief operating officer. He currently serves on the board of directors for Radiant Logistics, a publicly traded third party logistics provider.

Prior to Zonar, Gould led the North American technology consulting organization for Oracle. As general manager, he was responsible for solution development, project execution, recruiting and training of consultants, and more.

Before that, Gould was vice president and general manager for Hewlett-Packard’s America’s consulting business.

Strategic Growth at Zonar

As president and CEO, Gould will be responsible for the strategic growth of Zonar in the pupil, transit, freight, and vocational markets, as well as the long legacy of embedded OEM technology.

He will continue his commitment to elevating support for student passengers, commuters, long-haul drivers, and other operators behind the wheel, putting the efficiency and effectiveness of services at the forefront while upholding safety and compliance standards.

This executive move follows the recent addition of Chris McFadden as senior vice president of finance at Zonar. Prior to joining Zonar, Chris served in a number of roles of increasing scope at Amazon, including chief financial officer of the Amazon robotics division and director of operations and strategy for packaging innovation.

Chris brings his experience building world-class financial organizations to Zonar to drive high-impact results in connected transportation.
