Industry Exec Takes Software Post

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Industry veteran Philip Devlin has accepted the position of vice president of business development for Event Ground Global, a transportation software company which specializes in helping transportation companies and meeting planners optimize group transportation and manage manifests.

Devlin will develop the national and international markets for the company’s recently launched Manifest Optimization Solutions (MOS 1.0) product line which reduces the overall amount of time meeting planners spend manipulating manifests when budgeting and grouping attendees.

“We are very excited to add Philip to our team,” says Evan Michaels, CEO of Event Ground Global and CEO of Coastal Car and Limousine in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. “Philip’s limousine industry experience coupled with his knowledge of the event planning space will allow him to rapidly grow Event Ground Global’s market share.”

Devlin most recently was the vice president of operations for Cooper Atlanta, and before that was the general manager at Boston Coach. Devlin will start his new post on Jan. 26 and divide his time between Ft. Lauderdale and Atlanta.
