At KeyMe, Mark will be responsible for technology development and strategy as the company continues to reinvent the way consumers access locksmith services through cutting-edge technology.

Aly leads KeyMe's product development team and will work closely with Mark. Aly began his career at Microsoft and has served as vice president of product at a variety of New York City companies, including hyperlocal news site Patch Media, 3D printing marketplace Shapeways and visual marketing startup Curalate over the past decade. Aly proudly mentors early-stage startups at TechStars NYC.

"Mark and Aly have deep experience building amazing consumer products," said Greg Marsh, KeyMe's CEO. "They are going to help take KeyMe's team and technology to the next level as we bring our service to tens of millions of customers in 2019 and build the most trusted brand in access solutions."
