Sherrell’s 30-year career spans all facets of automotive marketing. She previously developed Dataium’s Media Services Group, which focused on the creation of new services to support the company's advertising and marketing. Prior to joining Dataium, she served as president of GS Marketing in Houston, where she specialized in direct marketing, digital marketing strategy, and the optimization of business processes.

For the last 20 years, Fontaine’s career has focused on business strategy development, change management and process improvement within multi-million dollar corporations. His extensive expertise and international experience will aid the company in its continuous improvement and effective execution of business solutions.

“Peter and I are excited to continue building on Dataium’s strong foundation,” said Sherrell. “Dataium is doing some amazing things, and we have an incredibly talented and capable team ready to shape the future of the industry.”
