Joe Meyer, Former eBay and Quigo Executive, Named President and CEO of HopStop.com

HopStop, the Leading Online Mass Transit Guide, to Rapidly Expand Under New Leadership

Joe Meyer, a former Vice President & General Manager for AOL's Quigo Technologies, has been named President and CEO of HopStop.com, the leading online city transit guide providing door-to-door mass transit directions within several large metropolitan markets including Boston, Chicago, London, New York City, San Francisco and Washington, DC. Mr. Meyer, appointed by HopStop's Board of Directors, replaces founding CEO Chinedu Echeruo, who recently left to start a private equity fund focused on Africa.

"I see an opportunity to aggressively expand HopStop into a national consumer service that provides mass transit directions and local services within the largest cities throughout the North America, Western Europe and beyond. In doing so, HopStop will provide national and local advertisers alike with the unique opportunity to geo-target metropolitan travelers based on their starting-and-ending destinations," says Mr. Meyer. "I also plan to expand HopStop into a web-services solution for national and local digital media companies by enabling them to offer the HopStop user experience on their own websites and mobile apps. HopStop will also rapidly expand its mobile services, including the development of useful apps, so that users can access and interface with HopStop's directions and services while they're on-the-go."
