UFODRIVE, the world’s fastest growing electric car rental and e-mobility provider, today announces the appointment of Richard Fitzgerald as Global Head of SaaS Product. In this newly created role at UFODRIVE, Fitzgerald is responsible for the company’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform strategy; redefining and aligning product operations with both UFODRIVE’S overall business strategy and its customers’ needs across the globe.
Fitzgerald has over 20 years of experience in enterprise software development, being the original founder and CEO of Europe’s first real-time vehicle tracking platforms. Fitzgerald went on to create two successful software startups which he helped scale and led trade acquisitions for both. Prior to joining the team at UFODRIVE, Fitzgerald held the position of Vice President, Global Product Management at Fiserv, one of the world’s largest FinTech.
