He also directs the services groups that manage the day-to-day support for both customers and exhibitors.

During his tenure at Fandango, Shepela also led business development and helped expand the company’s commerce distribution, powering online movie ticketing for partners including Yahoo! Movies, AOL, Moviefone, IMDB, and MSN Entertainment. He also oversaw and matured Fandango’s gift card business, selling gift cards online and at more than 77,000 retail outlets nationwide.
