HyreCar, which provides carsharing for ridesharing and food/package delivery services, has a new chief technology officer.

In a move that was effective Monday, Ken Grimes transitioned from CTO to an executive advisory role. Hired to be the new CTO was Greg Tatem, whose background includes leadership, tech and engineering roles at Wine.com and Williams Sonoma.

“We are pleased to welcome Greg to the HyreCar team at a time when we are growing rapidly,” HyreCar chief executive officer Joe Furnari said in a news release.

“With Greg’s wealth of engineering and product management knowledge, we will be able to continue expanding HyreCar’s platform capacity 10x,” Furnari said. “I’m confident Greg’s passion for the customer experience will make a tangible impact on how we build products and features that maximize productivity and earnings for our drivers and owners.”

Tatem added: “With current driver shortages, HyreCar is uniquely positioned to provide a cost-effective solution for drivers and is the only platform delivering crowdsourced vehicles for gig drivers in the United States. I’m grateful for the opportunity to roll up my sleeves and work with the fantastic technology and business teams to make HyreCar the most owner and driver-friendly platform available.”

Grimes had been CTO since February 2021.

“Ken has been instrumental in transforming the platform to a true microservice architecture, and he will continue to support the transition as a special advisor. I am grateful for Ken’s many contributions to HyreCar,” said Furnari.
