As director of Smart Columbus, Jordan Davis oversees the integration of technology into the city’s transportation, thanks to the City of Columbus and Columbus Region’s smart city initiative. The company won the US Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) first-ever Smart City Challenge, which aims to reimagine transport operating systems, shift travel patterns and more—all for the benefit of the community.

As a Mercedes-Benz EQ Fellow at Summit LA, Davis finds a community of people invested in all facets of mobility. Though she is not developing the technologies, she’s an integral player in the grand scheme of their implementation.
