BOSTON—Motus, provider of the most accurate vehicle management and reimbursement platform available, today announced that a team of its employees has been selected to participate in Red Bull Flugtag, taking place August 20th on Boston’s Charles River Esplanade. The inaugural competition “challenges the brave and brainy to design, build and pilot home-made flying machines off a 28-foot high flight deck in hopes of soaring into the wild blue yonder…or more often, plunging into the waters below.” Teams will be judged on three criteria: flight distance, creativity of the craft and showmanship.

Dubbed “Boston Creme Flies,” Motus’ team consists of Ady “Pie in the Sky” Das, Ed “Make Pie Great Again” Gutnik, Ryan “The Big Slice” Edwards, Craig “The Sea Sweet” Powell, and Bjorn “Pie” Mann. The team was selected from over 200 applicants for its pie-in-the-sky design.

Motus has built its company culture around three core values – Bravery, Curiosity, Exceptionality – and is committed to helping its team members live healthy, balanced and happy lives. The company encourages employees to WorkSmart so they can self-manage their own success; WorkHappy by letting their curiosity, bravery and exceptionality shine; and WorkHealthy by staying in motion to keep their minds active and creativity at the forefront. Its focus on creating an exciting workplace that values collaboration and competition goes beyond the day-to-day of the company’s work and has earned it a place amongst Boston’s "Best Places to Work".

“I wasn’t shocked to find out that members of the Motus Team wanted to put our core values to work outside of the office. To learn that we were selected was no surprise, because we have a sweet tooth for engineering and everybody likes a good Boston pun. But it’s certainly an honor, and we’re very excited,” said Craig Powell, Motus’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Motus team has enthusiasm and creativity in spades, and Flugtag will be an incredible opportunity for us to show Boston what we’re made of.”

According to Ady Das, Motus’ Vice President of Product and the pilot of “Boston Crème Flies,” “We’re leaning heavily on the team’s bravery and curiosity to propel us through the design and build phases, both of which have been a tremendous collaboration and a lot of fun. It’s my personal challenge to deliver on our third core value of exceptionality by landing this pie on the winning side of the victory line.”
