DropStation appoints former Coinstar president to advisory board
November 29, 2009
DropStation Inc., a provider of self-service solutions for parcel delivery logistics, today announced the appointment of Rich Stillman, past president of Coinstar Inc., to DropStation's advisory board.
DropStation provides a network of self-service Automated Delivery Machines (ADMs), which the company says help streamline customer pick-up and delivery of packages and goods and allow parcel carriers to increase first-delivery success, operational cost savings and customer satisfaction.
John Matsuo, CEO of Dropstation, hopes Stillman's experience managing a nationwide self-service network will help the company expand its network of ADMs:
The addition of Mr. Stillman to our advisory board will provide valuable insight that comes with experience and a pioneering mentality as it relates to a large-scale self-service deployment. Rich's understanding of working with retailers and managing a network of self-service kiosks will aid in our pursuit to provide a complete solution for the first and last mile distribution of small- to medium-sized parcels.
According to DropStation, Stillman has spent 30 years in executive management, marketing and sales positions and helped double coin revenue and pioneer electronic payment services and "coin-to-card" products during his time at Coinstar Inc. Stillman is now founder and president of the Upswing Group in Seattle.
