Smarter City Solutions

Michael Doherty has been at the forefront of parking technology for close to a decade, having worked with many of the businesses behind Australia’s leading parking and payment apps and cloud-based permit and compliance technologies. As Head of Business Development for Smarter City Solutions, he oversees the sales and marketing of unique integrated parking solutions for local councils, universities and corporate clients all over Australia.

Michael was the first employee at Smarter City Solutions when it launched as CellOPark in 2013. He joined as General Manager following roles with Secure Parking and Parkmobile, growing the company’s client base tenfold in its first three years and bringing software development and customisation in-house to further broaden the product set and establish CellOPark as a market leader.

In 2017 Michael took on the role of Director of Sales and Marketing at parking availability app UbiPark, before moving on to global data-driven provider of city solutions SenSen. As Director of Operations at SenSen, Michael implemented leading edge license plate recognition technologies for clients including Smarter City Solutions.

Michael returned to Smarter City Solutions (which changed its name from CellOPark two years earlier) in 2020 as Head of Business Development. Where in the early days of the business Michael was focused on educating the market on how smartphone apps and other technologies could be applied to parking, now the focus is on how Smarter City Solutions finds and implements sophisticated integrated parking solutions that meet the unique needs of each client.
