HopSkipDrive has appointed two new leaders to its team: David Katcher joins as chief operating officer and Tyler Baldwin as chief revenue officer. 

David Katcher joins HopSkipDrive after serving as COO at Rula, which expanded from 11 markets to national coverage and launched several new service offerings under his guidance. He previously held executive roles at Lyft and AvantStay. 

“I’m energized by HopSkipDrive’s mission to create mobility for all, and I’m excited to build the systems and services that allow us to scale with quality,” Katcher said. “Transportation is a gateway to opportunity, and we are here to make sure that access is never out of reach.” 

Tyler Baldwin previously was CRO at CharterUP, where he led the revenue organization through rapid growth, increasing gross bookings from $120M to over $200M. He has also served in executive roles at Reali and LinkedIn. 

“I’m thrilled to help drive the next phase of growth for HopSkipDrive,” Baldwin said. “This is a company with demonstrated product-market fit, an inspiring mission, and a platform that truly makes a difference in communities. There's a massive opportunity to support more school districts across the country, and we’re just getting started.”

These appointments follow announcements of new district partnerships, the new RouteWise AI, and new safety products, features, and initiatives.
