Technology now touches almost every journey people take, from buses and taxis to trains and airports. In this bonus episode, Dr. Kaan Yildizgoz sits down with Bill Delaney, Chief Executive Officer of Modaxo, to explore what it takes to build and scale a global technology business dedicated to people movement.
Bill explains why Modaxo deliberately avoids centralising its more than 40 businesses. Each one keeps the independence to serve its local market, and just as importantly, to develop offerings for narrow or specialist parts of the market rather than a one size fits all approach, while still sharing best practice across the group. He discusses Modaxo's expansion beyond traditional public transport into aviation, parking and traffic management, the company's commitment to never selling the businesses it acquires, and the growing gap between fast-moving technology and slow procurement cycles.
Whether you lead a transport authority, an operator, or a technology business serving the sector, this conversation offers a candid look at how one of the industry's largest players thinks about growth, autonomy and long-term commitment.
