CHANDREA (SHAWN) FRANTZ
President / Chief Marketing Officer
Since starting the company, Chandrea’s sole focus has been to deliver products and services designed to enhance the customer's parking experience. As a full-time working mom, with a background in marketing, she had grown tired and frustrated over how much time and effort it took to park when she traveled or shopped. Needless to say, Parking Guidance Systems LLC was born out of this desire to find a better solution. As President and CMO, Chandrea ensures the company stays focused on representing and distributing technology driven, environmentally friendly parking administration systems that not only improve the parking customer’s experience, but improve the owners occupancy rate and profitability.
