TUPELO, Miss. — Sean Peoples has been promoted to the role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the Tupelo-based technology start-up, Carmigo.
Peoples, one of the company’s co-founders, served as Carmigo’s head developer and head of product.
“Sean has been at the center of Carmigo since the day I first pitched him the idea,” said Carmigo Founder and CEO Andrew Warmath. “This new title is a reflection of his ongoing role as a leader in shaping our company’s technology offerings.”
Carmigo’s marketplace technology was recently recognized by Auto Fin Journal as an Emerging 8 company, an award given to companies that improve a specific aspect of the automotive industry through technology.
“Carmigo was recently named one of eight emerging auto-technology companies by industry leaders,” said Carmigo Co-founder and COO Daniel Kim. “That’s thanks in large part to Sean’s contributions and a reflection of his commitment to Carmigo’s mission.”
Peoples will continue to be responsible for the development and maintenance of the Carmigo inspection tool and Carmigo Marketplace. In his new role, he is also exploring new ways to leverage Carmigo’s technology to meet the needs of dealerships across the country.
“I’m honored to accept this new role, but my dedication to Carmigo’s products is the same as it’s always been,” Peoples said. “My goal, and the goal of my team, is to continue to use technology to make selling a car easier for consumers and inventory management easier for dealers.”
