Charlie Hammerslough

Looking for a dynamic podcast guest who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table?

I'm Charlie, a retired data scientist and former professor with a rich background in leading companies and mentoring young professionals. With a degree from Princeton University and a passion for innovation, I've made significant strides in both academia and the corporate world.

Now residing part-time in Jacksonville, Florida, and Chicago, Illinois, I'm the visionary founder of Zoom Urban Gear, a E-Scooter Accessories company I launched in the Fall of 2022. This venture was born from my desire to address the practical needs of scooter riders, combining my love for urban mobility with my expertise in data science. By designing innovative products and engaging with the scooter community, I've positioned Zoom Urban Gear as a leader in the industry.

Our flagship product, The Meerkat, is a patent-pending e-scooter stand and accessory hub that solves many storage issues users uncover through e-scooter ownership. Beyond product development, we focus on providing valuable content through guides, newsletters, and how-tos, thus reflecting my commitment to education and mentorship.

Passionate about environmental sustainability, societal impact, public health, urban organization, and teaching, I bring a unique perspective to any podcast. Whether discussing the intersection of technology and urban living or sharing insights from my diverse career, I offer engaging and thought-provoking conversations that resonate with audiences.
