Zum Appoints Matthew Klein as VP of Software Sales

Some of the largest school districts in the country, including Boston Public Schools, Los Angeles Unified School District and Virginia Beach City Public Schools, have chosen Zum CMX to modernize their in-house student mobility operations and improve reliability, visibility and the experience for families. As more districts look to modernize their in-house operations, Zum CMX provides the technology and intelligence designed to deliver a safer, more reliable and efficient student mobility experience. Reliable student mobility starts with Zum CMX.

"Zum CMX was built from the ground up for one purpose: transforming student mobility," said Ritu Narayan, Founder and CEO of Zum. "We built the entire platform around the unique complexities of getting students to and from school. With every new district we serve, our technology gets smarter, learning from an increasingly large and diverse mobility network. That singular focus on student mobility is what makes Zum CMX fundamentally different and has created tremendous momentum for the business. We are excited to have Matt join the team to build on that momentum and help scale Zum CMX to districts across the country."

Prior to Zum, Klein spent eight years building and leading Coursera's government business, scaling it to help governments reskill citizens and public workforces. He began his career in public health with the Clinton Health Access Initiative. Klein holds an MBA from UC Berkeley and a BA in Political Science from Haverford College.

"I come from an EdTech background, and Zum's mission immediately resonated with me," Klein said. "Reliable student mobility is fundamental to access to education, and Zum has built technology that is dramatically improving the experience for students, families and school districts while making the underlying system more efficient. I'm excited to help scale Zum CMX so districts across the country can benefit from a fundamentally better way to deliver student mobility."

Zum CMX is a unified, AI-powered system purpose-built for student mobility, connecting routing, dispatch, drivers, schools, families, safety and operations in real time. Rather than layering technology onto fragmented legacy systems, CMX provides districts with a single connected platform to optimize resources and deliver greater visibility, coordination and accountability across their mobility networks.

Today, Zum supports more than 6,500 schools across 19 states, with partnerships spanning many of the nation's largest school districts, including Los Angeles Unified, San Francisco Unified, Seattle Public Schools, Oakland Unified, Boston Public Schools, the School District of Philadelphia, Omaha Public Schools and St. Louis Public Schools. Zum's continued investment in CMX and software leadership reflects its next phase of growth: bringing the technology powering its nationwide mobility network to more districts across the country.
