Relocation of global leader in fleet performance management cements the region as a fleet technology hub.
SAN DIEGO, CA. – Aug. 29, 2023 – EROAD, a global leader in fleet performance management, today announced the relocation of its North American headquarters from Portland, Oregon, to San Diego, cementing the region as the epicenter of fleet technology in the U.S. The company has also bolstered its leadership team with the addition of Tracey Herman, executive vice president of finance; Kerynn Holtzman, vice president of operations; and Sarah Wicker, vice president of marketing.
New Zealand-based EROAD joins a growing number of area businesses focused on transportation and logistics technology, fleet telematics, video-based safety, and data-driven fleet management for commercial vehicles. EROAD’s base of operations in Carmel Mountain Ranch includes office space and a fulfillment center from which technology is shipped to customers around the country.
“A broadly recognized innovation sector, coupled with the growth of the advanced fleet technology ecosystem in the region, makes San Diego the ideal location for our new North America headquarters,” said Akinyemi Koyi, chief innovation officer and president of EROAD North America. “This move, coupled with the expansion of our U.S. leadership team with highly accomplished and tenured professionals, represents an important milestone for our business. These moves will help fuel our continued growth as we expand our fleet management, compliance, safety, and performance offerings.”
Herman has more than 20 years of finance and accounting experience in the technology space, most recently serving as chief financial officer at telematics company Coretex, which EROAD acquired in 2021. A customer-focused leader with more than two decades in strategic planning and implementation in the private and public sectors, Holtzman held previous roles at SkyBitz, IBM and OPIS. Wicker’s more than 20-year track record of marketing leadership in the technology and telematics space includes prior roles at Lytx and Verizon Connect.
