Mike Stanley is the CEO and Founder of Transit X, based in Boston, Massachusetts. Mike is an entrepreneur, a designer, and an engineer. The majority of his career has been in software engineering and systems architecture, and he has held management and engineering positions at several technology companies in the Boston area.

He started designing and building autonomous robots in the early 1980’s when he was 11 years old. A problem solver by nature, Mike designs systems from first principles. Stanley earned his Bachelor’s degrees in engineering and management from MIT.

Stanley started Transit X in March 2015 after a series of large snow storms shut down much of Boston's transit system. The Mayor of Boston called out for ideas on how to solve Boston's transportation problems and Stanley rose to the challenge.
