Podcast: Connexion CEO Aaryn Nania’s New Partnership with Uber

Originally posted by Jonah Bliss on The Curbivore.  

If you think about the transportation world as divided between “new mobility” and “old mobility,” it often seems that despite all the innovation of the past few years, it often happens in its own silo, leaving the classic world of American transportation — car dealers — unaffected. So that’s why one particular announcement, that Connexion Mobility has launched a partnership with Uber, caught my eye. This allows car dealers to dispatch courtesy transport for customers who’ve brought their own cars in for service, tapping into Uber’s pool of gig drivers, as opposed to forcing dealerships to operate their own clunky networks of shuttles (or deal with maintaining a loaner fleet.)

I chatted with Connexion’s CEO Aaryn Nania about the launch, plus he shares his own non-traditional path to the mobility world, as well as what it’s like running a publicly listed company. Listen in!
