Chicago– May 1, 2023 –  SpotHero, the leading parking reservation marketplace in North America, announced Tom Janofsky as its new Chief Technology Officer. The announcement comes as SpotHero continues to utilize and develop cutting-edge technology to further digitize the multi-billion-dollar parking industry.

“We’re very excited for Tom to join the SpotHero team,” said SpotHero CEO and co-founder Mark Lawrence. “Tom has a distinguished track record of success in the technology space, and as a leader who is driven by innovation, mentorship and results, I’m confident Tom will help us continue to drive SpotHero – and the parking industry – forward to make parking better for drivers and operator partners.”

Tom has more than 20 years of experience building and operating research and development organizations, and has played a significant role in helping startup companies grow from initial seed funding, through scale-up stages and beyond. Throughout his career, Tom has focused on building highly productive teams by focusing on people – emphasizing talent evaluation, recruiting, employee development and employee empowerment.
