They will work closely with company co-founders Eric Brown and Jason Ezell to support Dataium’s growth goals over the coming years.
Sherrell’s 30-year career spans all facets of automotive marketing.

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.”
