Networkcar, a provider of wireless vehicle management, announced Wednesday, April 11, that it has appointed Keith Schneider to the position of president. Schneider has extensive experience in leading and building businesses in the wireless industry; most recently, he served as vice president of indirect distribution for Sprint Nextel Communications.
While at Nextel, Schneider was responsible for the strategic direction and implementation of key programs and policies supporting Nextel’s local and national third-party indirect channels. Prior to this role, he served as the area president of New England operations, a $200 million business where he managed sales and distribution, marketing, finance, operations, human resources, service and repair. Schneider began his Nextel career as a general manager in Southern California, launching and building one of Nextel’s first and largest markets.
“Keith’s experience is broad-based and ranges from strategic to operational,” says Jeffrey A. Leddy, chief executive officer of Hughes Telematics, the parent company of San Diego-based Networkcar. “This appointment is a key step in enabling Networkcar to continue implementing its strategic vision. The opportunities before us have never been greater.”
