Feb 2022 - Jan 2023
Since 2014, BRIDJ has evolved from a simple shuttle service platform in Boston, Massachusetts to a powerful SaaS (Software as a Service) platform based in Brisbane, Australia. Bridj is a supercharged booking and fleet management platform that helps you deliver better travel experiences for your passengers. Our tech allows you to optimise your on-road service and digitise your work processes. Firsthand experience delivering car, shuttle and bus fleet solutions has enabled us to understand the nuances between sectors and service models. With our partners, we've overcome real-world challenges to develop an industry leading product. Designed to support demand responsive transport (DRT), our platforms provide new solutions to the shortcomings of traditional Event, School and Public Transport. In my role with BRIDJ I work with our Customers to turn their specific business needs into a successfully deployed operation. As we evolve globally it is my responsibility to develop our presence in Europe in this exciting and rapidly evolving space. Most recently I delivered the Fleet Operations and Asset Management solution to the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games including the delivery of training to 1,200+ volunteers and staff supporting nearly 800 games fleet vehicles.
