# Lisa Mullen

> Lisa Mullen is the CEO and Managing Partner of Drōv Technologies, an Oklahoma City company building the brains for the most ignored object in trucking: the trailer. Under her leadership the company scrapped its old mechanical tire-inflation products, re-engineered the wheel-end from scratch, and shipped AirBoxOne - an IoT gateway that turns a dumb steel box into a sensor-laden, self-inflating, camera-equipped machine that reports its own health in real time. She took the top job in March 2020, weeks before the world locked down, and spent the next years proving that the part of the truck nobody thinks about is exactly where the value hides.
