Please join us in congratulating our new CEO Christopher Donus and extending enormous thanks to Dan Sharplin who will continue as Executive Chairman of the Board! Donus joined Flash as CFO in 2023 and took on the role of President last June. In that time, he has demonstrated exceptional leadership and a remarkable ability to execute our vision at speed and scale. His deep experience in mobility and technology, combined with his proven track record at companies like Wheel Health, Lyft and Silvercar, make him the ideal leader for Flash's next phase of growth. Flash has always been defined by visionary leadership – from Flash's founding partners who laid the foundation to the teams who built our platform and unmatched scale under Dan's leadership – that has enabled our growth to encompass over 16,000 parking assets, 1 billion annual transactions and 450 million driver touchpoints. "I couldn't be more excited for the possibilities that lay ahead – for Flash and for the industry – as we continue the journey to make the transformation of parking a reality," said Donus. "I thank Dan Sharplin and the Board of Directors for their support and confidence as well as the incredible opportunity to lead the world class team we've assembled at Flash."

We're excited to announce our latest installation at the Port of Ridgefield Boat Launch in Ridgefield, WA! Yep, you read that right. Parking, for boats. We do it all, folks. ????? In partnership with Ryan Atwood and Propark Mobility, we've transitioned the boat launch to a fully digital payment system with Scan to Pay signs and integrated our reservations platform. Boaters can now easily pay for launch access and reserve spots ahead of time—no more having to pull your credit card out or waiting in line while your friends critique your docking skills. Propark Mobility will manage enforcement and operations to keep everything running smoothly, both on land and water. A huge thank you to Ethan T. Perry, MBA, PMP and the Port of Ridgefield for trusting us with this transformation. Special recognition goes to Ryan Welsh and Roger Macias from the Flash team for their work in making this installation a success. We look forward to supporting the Ridgefield community with modern, efficient solutions that make accessing the waterfront easier than ever! Now, who's ready to launch?
