HiveAuto has appointed Victor Young to its board of directors.

The parent company of Slydyn, a consumer-centric technology designed to enable drivers to compare availability and book dealership service digitally, said Young will serve as a strategic advisor in that capacity, working with Slydyn’s leadership team on product evolution, dealer engagement and long-term growth strategy.

“Slydyn is solving a real problem with clarity and momentum,” Young said. “The platform aligns with how consumers expect to book today while pushing the industry toward a more modern, connected service experience. I’m excited to support the team as they scale.”

HiveAuto called Young, a former operator with Morgan Automotive Group, “a proven automotive leader” who has overseen a portfolio of high-performing dealerships, including Lamborghini Sarasota, BMW of Sarasota, Land Rover Ocala, Jaguar Ocala and MINI Cooper Wesley Chapel.

The company said that experience provides “deep dealer-side insight and operational expertise” as Slydyn works toward expanding across dealer networks nationwide.

“Victor brings real operational depth from inside the dealership world,” Slydyn president Kimberly Cowan said. “He understands the challenges dealers face and the solutions they actually need. As we continue building a platform that simplifies service booking for both dealers and drivers, his perspective and strategic involvement are invaluable.”

Young, who is also an investor in HiveAuto, is the founder and CEO of crisis-resiliency and disaster-relief company Future Fortified Technologies and Global Metropolis Investments, a venture capital firm focused on backing entrepreneurs and operators with execution capability and industry credibility.

In his role with GMI, Young provides capital and hands-on strategic guidance to help portfolio companies scale efficiently and sustainably.

He currently serves as chairman of The Moffitt Medical Group at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa.

“Victor brings a level of strategic rigor that’s critical at this stage of our growth,” HiveAuto CEO Charles Campbell said. “His experience as both an operator and investor strengthens our board and reinforces the long-term accountability we’re building into the company.”
