Joe Cooper

I worked with Joe Bannon at DMI as we partnered with Rami Goldratt to expand DMI’s knowledge and use of the strategies and tactics of The Theory of Constraints and breakthrough business innovation. They say, "anyone can make something complicated, but it takes a touch of genius to make it simple". Joe has that ability to take complex or counter-intuitive concepts and reframe them in such a way that makes the knowledge more accessible to a broader audience. Kindness, humility, and emotional intelligence are a few of the soft-skill strengths that complement Joe's depth and breadth of knowledge, experience, and leadership.

Lave Kulshreshtha

I worked with Joe as he led global teams delivering innovative technology and digital business transformation efforts for world's most popular auto OEM’s pioneering usage-based insurance business. Together we built a AI based Digital Platform for an insurance claims subrogation platform providing greater processing efficiencies and lower loss ratios. Joe leads by example, he brings the unique perspective from industry and demonstrates unmatchable passion for success. Leadership is natural in him, Joe is able to navigate through complex situations to deliver the ROI.

MOBI enables a new era in mobility through the creation and promotion of standards, by fostering collaboration, and by innovating use cases, pilot and proof of concept initiatives. Originally introduced to MOBI in my work at KAR Auction Services, Inc., the first automotive Remarketing and Finance company to join as a member. I became a founding team member of the Vehicle Identity (VID) and Electric Vehicle to Grid Working Groups and contributing member to the Finance, Securitization and Smart Contract Working Group. I am leading efforts to explore how blockchain technology will impact the Automotive, Energy, Insurance, Finance, Mobility, Shipping and Supply Chain industries globally. As the future success of smart mobility depends on compatible public infrastructure and forward-thinking sustainable policies, I help connect governments, NGOs, and academic/research institutions with OEMs, Technology Providers and other Thought Leaders in the New Economy of Movement. This encourages the contribution of members and their unique expertise across mobility ecosystems. Together, we work on use cases that improve efficiency, environmental sustainability, data privacy, and smart city strategies alongside industry leaders in the mobility sector - transportation, logistics, supply chain and more.
