EROAD moves North American headquarters to San Diego, announces additions to leadership team

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 29, 2023 – EROAD, a global leader in fleet performance management, today announced the relocation of its North American headquarters from Portland, Oregon, to San Diego, cementing the region as the epicenter of fleet technology in the U.S. The company has also bolstered its leadership team with the addition of Tracey Herman, executive vice president of finance; Kerynn Holtzman, vice president of operations; and Sarah Wicker, vice president of marketing.

A customer-focused leader with more than two decades in strategic planning and implementation in the private and public sectors, Holtzman held previous roles at SkyBitz, IBM and OPIS. Wicker’s more than 20-year track record of marketing leadership in the technology and telematics space includes prior roles at Lytx and Verizon Connect.
