# Globesherpa cofounder and current Moovel CEO Nat Parker recognized by TiE Oregon

It’s always nice to see local entrepreneurs building a successful company — especially when they continue to remain contributors and stewards of community in Portland. Such is the case with [Nat Parker](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nat-parker/ "Nat Parker"), cofounder of Portland startup Globesherpa, which was [acquired by Daimler in 2015](https://siliconflorist.com/2015/06/30/golden-ticket-portland-mobile-ticketing-startup-globesherpa-acquired-ridescout/).

According to the [Malia Spencer at the Portland Business Journal](https://www.bizjournals.com/portland/news/2019/02/06/tie-oregon-names-moovel-north-america-ceo.html):

> Parker co-founded the mobile ticketing startup GlobeSherpa in 2010. The company made mobile ticketing apps for public transportation agencies. In 2015, it was acquired by moovel, a subsidiary of German automotive giant Daimler. In 2016, the company changed its name to moovel North America.
> 
> Since then, it has become a centerpiece of Daimler’s mobility technology strategy. The company is part of a joint venture that Daimler and rival BMW created last year to combine the two brands’ car sharing services as well as the moovel mobility services.

And now he’s being [recognized for his efforts at the TiE Oregon Annuals](https://oregon.tie.org/tie-oregon-annuals/). The event takes place March 20, 2019. Tickets are $125 for non-members. TiE Oregon members can secure a table of 10 for $1000.
