Get My Parking Appoints Two New Directors to Lead AI PARCS Sales Across North America

Get My Parking (GMP), an AI-first global parking technology company, today announced the appointments of Chris Franzen and Jimmy Quijada as Directors of Sales, AI PARCS, North America. Franzen will be based in Seattle and lead GMP’s commercial development across the Pacific Northwest, while Quijada will be based in Los Angeles and lead the company’s AI PARCS sales strategy across Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties.

ExpressLane, GMP’s marquee AI PARCS solution, enables owners and operators to modernize existing PARCS infrastructure without unnecessarily replacing their current hardware, while the AVA AI suite extends intelligent automation across in-lane support, validations, and other critical operating and back-office workflows. Franzen and Quijada will work directly with customers to translate these capabilities into lower capital requirements, improved throughput, stronger revenue integrity, reduced operating costs, and a better overall parking experience.

Both executives will report to Geremy Rodamer, Vice President of Sales, North America. Franzen and Quijada will build GMP’s presence in their respective markets by identifying priority accounts, developing relationships with owners, operators, consultants, and technology partners, and leading complex opportunities from initial discovery through contract execution and deployment. They will also bring regional customer and competitive insight back to GMP’s product and leadership teams, helping ensure the company’s AI-PARCS strategy remains grounded in the operational realities of each market.

Franzen brings more than 17 years of experience spanning mobility, parking technology, national sales, market expansion, and technology deployment, including leadership roles with Zipcar, SpotHero, Ocra, and Reimagined Parking. As SpotHero’s first employee in the Western United States, he helped expand markets across the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Las Vegas, and later closed the company’s largest mass-location onboarding agreement for its dynamic-pricing technology. Most recently, he led complex deployments across the United States and Canada involving LPR, PARCS, digital payments, occupancy and guidance systems, network infrastructure, and business-intelligence platforms. Franzen was named to the National Parking Association’s 40 Under 40 class in 2022.

Quijada brings more than 20 years of experience in enterprise sales, revenue growth, sales-process development, and team leadership across parking, telecommunications, SaaS, payments, and technology. Based in Southern California, he has secured multimillion-dollar enterprise agreements, managed national sales strategies and large commercial pipelines, and developed account programs for Fortune 50 clients. In a prior sales leadership role, he helped generate $10 million in annual revenue growth by strengthening sales processes and customer onboarding. His career recognition includes multiple President’s Club and top-performer awards, including five consecutive Winner’s Circle honors.

“Every parking operation is different, and the right technology decision begins with understanding what the customer is trying to accomplish,” said Geremy Rodamer, Vice President of Sales, North America at Get My Parking. “Chris and Jimmy bring complementary experience, strong judgment, and a practical approach to applying technology in real-world operations. Their appointments put experienced leaders on the ground in two markets that are important to our growth.”

“The West Coast is home to some of the most dynamic parking and mobility markets in the country,” said Steve Resnick, PTMP, President of Get My Parking. “Customer expectations are changing, and technology is giving owners and operators practical ways to transform operations and deliver a better overall customer experience. Chris and Jimmy understand where the market is headed and will help us focus on opportunities where GMP can make the greatest difference.”

“PARCS has historically been defined by hardware, but AI is fundamentally changing that model,” said Chirag Jain, Founder and CEO of Get My Parking. “ExpressLane provides customers with a flexible digital foundation, while the AVA AI suite introduces intelligence and automation where they can have the greatest operational impact. Together, they provide a practical path to modernize existing environments, realize meaningful value from AI today, and establish a foundation for capabilities that will continue to evolve.”
