SAN JOSE, Calif. - May 28, 2015 - PRLog -- GreenRoad Technologies, the leading provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) driver behavior and fleet performance solutions, is substantially expanding its activity in the North American fleet market.

To spearhead sales and customer success, GreenRoad has appointed senior telematics industry executives Ken McCann and Blake Burns both of whom will be based at the company’s new headquarters in Austin, Texas.

GreenRoad,   which also has offices in the UK, Israel and San Jose, California, recently secured $26 million in growth capital to expand its sales and marketing activity in the US and EMEA.
