In 2007 Rich was appointed CEO of Plastic Logic, a company he grew from 30 to 400 employees with a research office in Cambridge, a product development department in Silicon Valley, a display Factory in Dresden and operations near Moscow. Afterwards he worked as a consultant to diverse technological companies.

Archuleta boasts a strong grasp of technology solutions, an outstanding track record of strong customer relationships and a sterling market reputation. He holds a BS and an MSc in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University and an Executive Development Program Diploma from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management.

Rich Archuleta has also written book chapters, technical articles, and patents. He has participated in numerous business and trade-press interviews (e.g. WSJ, NY Times, The Economist, Fortune, Forbes), on-camera television interviews (e.g. CNBC, Fox News), as well as panels at industry trade shows and conferences (including CES, Rutberg Wireless Influencers, Churchill Club).

Its flagship clients include the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA METRO), and MV Transportation.

For Rich Archuleta this new stage of his professional career represents an exciting opportunity to apply his experience and skills. “I am thrilled to join the GMV SYNCROMATICS team at a time when the company is expanding across the country. As the company grows with new customers, products, and employees, I believe we are well-positioned to be the premier ITS provider in the United States.”
