Generates Accelerating Car Supply and Higher Utilization Rates
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HyreCar Inc. (NASDAQ: HYRE), the carsharing marketplace for ridesharing, today announced John Fitzgerald has been appointed Vice President of Dealer Initiatives, and Rav Karwal has been made Vice President of Inside Sales.
“Our commercial initiatives have begun to accelerate car supply in the key markets we’re focused on,” said Joe Furnari, HyreCar CEO. Mr. Furnari added, “Dealers are great providers of car supply for our platform, who provide higher utilization rates for their vehicles which in turn drives increases in rental days and higher revenue that we have recently announced that we are experiencing.”
This continues the work that HyreCar began in the summer of 2019 to expand its commercial and dealership initiatives to accelerate car supply for ridesharing drivers. Mr. Fitzgerald has been leading the team nationally since July of 2019, and Mr. Karwal recently joined the team.
Mr. Fitzgerald brings over 20 years of automotive dealer sales and management experience to HyreCar, leading teams across major automotive brands including CarSaver at Walmart, Edmunds and AutoNation. As an innovative sales leader, Fitzgerald is well known in the independent and franchise dealer markets which are a key entry point for building relationships with these vehicle suppliers.
Mr. Karwal is an entrepreneurial executive with a successful track record leading revenue, sales, and other go-to-market strategies at early to later-stage ventures, including HGM, Apprion, and Scholast iSoft. During his time working with portfolio companies in Private Equity and as a Cofounder of two start-ups, Mr. Karwal consistently drove exponential revenue growth across numerous industry sectors.
“John’s experience in the dealer and OEM markets pairs well with Rav’s experience as an emerging growth company sales executive,” said Mike Furnari, HyreCar’s Chief Business Development Officer. “We believe this new sales dynamic should shrink the gap between car supply and demand and creates an optimal combination to increase the volume of rental transactions on the platform through 2020.”
