EverDriven continues to grow its market presence and its team: New executives Mon-Chaio Lo and Courtney Pallotta have now joined the company.

With over two decades of experience leading engineering organization, Lo has built and scaled market-leading products across both big tech and high-growth startups. He has held senior leadership roles at Microsoft, Uber, and Meta. His startup experience also includes ventures with successful exits, giving him a unique perspective on building at speed and scale.

“I’ve previously built infrastructure that made global transportation safe and compliant by design, embedding regulatory standards into the core of Uber’s platform to support millions of rides each day,” said Lo. “At EverDriven, we have the opportunity to go even further. Leveraging sophisticated data, technology, and AI, we can power intelligent route optimization, predictive scheduling, real-time fleet health monitoring, dynamic student tracking, and seamless district integration. This ensures our product not only meets the needs of today’s districts and families, but anticipates the challenges of tomorrow.”

Pallotta brings 25 years of experience leading teams and pioneering go-to-market strategies for technology companies including Reprise, ClearSky Data (acquired by AWS), IBM, and Netezza. Throughout her career, she has launched new market categories, led business transformations, and guided companies from startup through IPO and successful acquisitions.

“Joining EverDriven as CMO is a unique opportunity to bring together my experience in transformational technology with my passion for educational access,” Pallotta said. “EverDriven’s mission to ensure every student has safe, reliable access to education deeply resonates with me, and the company’s unmatched track record demonstrates both its impact and its potential. I’m excited to help lead EverDriven’s next phase of growth, leveraging technology to expand our positive impact on those we serve.”

“Mon-Chaio and Courtney join EverDriven at a defining moment,” said Mitch Bowling, CEO of EverDriven. “Our footprint has doubled to 35 states in the past five years, and their combined leadership will be key to continuing our nationwide growth and innovation. Mon-Chaio and Courtney embody the powerful combination of high-touch service and industry-leading technology that positions EverDriven to modernize student transportation and better serve the country’s most vulnerable communities.”
