SilverRide Inc. (“SilverRide” or the “Company”), the nation’s leading assisted transportation platform for older adults and people with disabilities, today announced the appointment of Dave Moellenhoff, cofounder and former Chief Technology Officer of Salesforce, to SilverRide’s Board of Directors, effective immediately.
Moellenhoff cofounded Salesforce in 1999 and served as Chief Technology Officer and principal architect through 2009, helping pioneer the software as a service model that grew the company into one of the world’s most valuable enterprises. Few people have done more to prove that a well-built platform can scale to serve a durable, essential need, which is precisely the challenge in front of SilverRide as assisted transportation becomes core mobility infrastructure.
The appointment extends SilverRide’s investment in technology leadership. It follows the Company’s recent appointment of Sooketoo Bhuta as Chief Product & Technology Officer to lead its product, data, and AI strategy, and signals a board-level commitment to building the technology platform behind assisted transportation at scale. Moellenhoff adds perspective on software platform architecture, scalable infrastructure, contract execution, and operating discipline to that effort.
“SilverRide is solving a problem that will only grow more urgent in every American community over the next 25 years,” said Dave Moellenhoff. “What drew me to this board is the same thing that drew me to building enterprise software: a scalable platform aimed at a durable, essential need. SilverRide is building the technology infrastructure that assisted transportation has lacked, and doing it in service of an outcome that is deeply human. That is exactly the kind of company I want to help build.”
Today, SilverRide is a licensed TNC in more than 20 states and operates in more than 35 major metropolitan areas. The Company delivers ADA-compliant assisted transportation through paratransit partnerships with transit agencies, contract services for PACE and healthcare organizations, and direct-to-consumer service. Anchored by an independent contractor network of experienced and credentialed drivers, SilverRide maintains 95% on-time performance across a footprint that continues to expand through new transit agency and healthcare partnerships.
The demand environment is durable. By 2050, the 65 and over population in America is projected to reach 83.7 million, nearly double its 2012 level, meaning nearly one in five Americans will be a senior citizen within roughly two decades (U.S. Census Bureau, 2014). That demographic reality is reshaping how cities and providers approach mobility, and it has positioned assisted transportation as a category with long runway and resilient unit economics.
“Dave’s track record speaks for itself, but it’s his belief in our mission that makes this appointment so meaningful,” said Jeff Maltz, Cofounder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of SilverRide. “We are scaling a category-defining technology platform that does something rare in transportation: it returns independence, dignity, and joy to the people we serve. Few people know how to build and scale a platform like Dave, and his guidance will help us serve millions more in the years ahead.”
Moellenhoff holds bachelor’s degrees in computer science and electrical engineering and an MBA from Washington University. He is an active angel investor and serves on the boards of growth stage technology and services companies.
