Zach Souder, MPE’s Senior Vice-President, added, “When I met with the FlashParking R&D team, I was blown away and knew immediately this is what our customers deserved. With FlashParking, MPE’s customers will be supported with the same high level of integrity and accountability they are accustomed to.”
“Scott has built a great business and dedicated his career to providing the highest level of support for his customers, and we believe Zach will continue that tradition as a part of our leadership team.
