Biographical note
Nat Parker is the CEO of moovel North America. Moovel N.A. works to bring mobility solutions for public and alternative transportation options to North American cities through two distinctive but complementary products: moovel transit and the moovel app. The company is part of moovel Group GmbH, a subsidiary of Daimler AG, the maker of Mercedes-Benz.

Prior to leading moovel N.A., Parker co-founded and served as CEO of GlobeSherpa, a market leader in mobile ticketing technology for public transportation. GlobeSherpa launched the nation’s first multimodal white-label mobile ticketing app, TriMet Tickets, in Portland, Oregon in September 2013. Under Parker’s leadership, GlobeSherpa grew to service 16 transit agency clients in eleven U.S. cities. Following the merger of GlobeSherpa and RideScout as moovel N.A., GlobeSherpa’s mobile ticketing platform evolved to become moovel transit.

Disruptive mobility services such as bike sharing, transportation network companies (aka ridesharing), microtransit, and one-way carsharing, now provide a more diverse array of options in cities. It is clear that these services are rapidly changing the way people move in cities around the world. Innovative cities and transit agencies are already exploring ways to develop integrated solutions that enhance the complementarity of existing transit services and new, disruptive mobility alternatives. In this speech, we will discuss the latest innovations and technologies designed to create a seamless mobility experience between transit services and new mobility services. The goal of this speech is to highlight the opportunities, challenges, and strategies for developing seamless mobility solutions that enhance transit alternatives and improve the way we move in cities.
