The Albany Gazette - Arrive AI Appoints T-Mobile Executive Michael Fitz to Board of Directors

Arrive AI makes autonomous delivery work, ensuring security and chain-of-custody to the intended recipients at the right time. The company provides tracking data, smart logistics alerts and advanced custody controls to secure last-mile delivery for shippers, delivery services, and autonomous networks. Arrive AI's foundational patent - for a universal access point that asynchronously interacts with people, robots and drones - was filed four days before Amazon's. Since then, the company has expanded its IP portfolio to include numerous claims and patents such as climate assistance and anti-theft features.

"Mike Fitz brings strategic thinking from the perspective of a $220B + market cap company in an parallel field with the aligned vision and buy-in of what we are building here at Arrive AI each day! Arrive AI continues to have world class leadership validate our mission through their joining of our journey! I am both humbled and flattered," said Dan O'Toole, CEO of Arrive AI. "As we continue to build the infrastructure and network powering the last inch of the last-mile delivery, his insight into 5G, IoT, and partner ecosystems will be invaluable in accelerating our growth and delivering long-term value for our shareholders."

Fitz currently leads national teams at T-Mobile for Business delivering advanced connectivity and technology solutions, including 5G, fixed wireless internet, IoT, collaboration, and security, helping organizations operate more efficiently and stay connected. He also oversees T-Mobile's partner and reseller ecosystem, expanding market reach through third-party providers and enabling end-to-end customer solutions.

Previously, Fitz served as General Manager of T-Mobile's Global Wireline business, a multi-billion-dollar division delivering fiber, dedicated internet, private networks, and managed services solutions for enterprise and carrier customers worldwide. In that role, he led strategy, operations, product portfolio, and commercial performance, guiding the business through significant growth, modernization, and its successful divestiture.

Fitz has spent more than 30 years with T-Mobile and Sprint, holding leadership roles across customer service, strategy, sales engineering, and product management. He has received multiple executive leadership recognitions and industry honors, including Fierce Telecom's "Rising Star of Wireline." Earlier in his career, he worked at GE in network and data security after completing GE's Information Systems Management Program.

"Arrive AI sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence and the physical movement of goods, with a clear opportunity to reshape how those worlds connect," said Michael Fitz. "I'm excited to join the Board and support the team as they scale the platform, expand adoption, and build lasting shareholder value."

Fitz also brings extensive governance and nonprofit leadership experience, having served 12 years on the Board of Directors of National Safe Place, including six years as Chairman, supporting runaway and homeless youth nationwide.

Mr. Fitz holds an MBA from the University of Maryland and a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from Bucknell University. He lives in Leesburg, Virginia with his wife and family.
