SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, August 13, 2019 — Blue Duck Scooters has added two new members to its leadership team, and promoted another.
Joining the company as Chief Innovation Officer is Andre J. Champagne, founder and former CEO of Hollywood Trucks. Mr. Champagne will be responsible for driving product development and market development through innovation.
As founder of Hollywood Trucks, Mr. Champagne built a company dedicated to providing the entertainment industry with state-of-the-art and eco-friendly logistics and transportation services. During his tenure, Mr. Champagne’s innovations led to the world’s first “off-grid” trailers, called Ecoluxe, which obtained multiple patents and global recognition.
“I chose to join Blue Duck Scooters because I am very excited about micro-mobility, which is poised to change the world and transform economies. Our children will not look at cars as we do today; micro-mobility is the future of transportation,” said Mr. Champagne.
Also joining the leadership team is Director of Human Resources, Adrienne Beck. Ms. Beck is a global human resources leader with a broad range of experience guiding the development of human resources for several large international corporations.
CEO Eric Bell said he was excited to welcome Adrienne and Andre on board. “I am thrilled we are able to attract such accomplished individuals to enhance our team of talented leaders as we expand our fleet across the state of Texas and beyond,” he said. “Not only is Blue Duck adding world-class talent to our leadership team, we are also on track to become the scooter partner of choice for cities, universities and companies worldwide.”
Blue Duck has also promoted Akeem Brown to Senior Director of Government Partnerships building on the success he has achieved as Government Relations Manager and Director of Government Partnerships. Mr. Bell said, “Akeem has been vital to our early success establishing partnerships with the cities we serve. His ability to work with all stakeholders to craft micro-mobility solutions unique to each of our markets is a critical element for our growth moving forward.”
