MT. LAUREL, NJ – ARI (Automotive Resources International) announced the formation of a Global Strategic Services team responsible for providing fleet consultation services to regional, national and multi-national companies.
Tom Donato, ARIs senior vice president of sales & marketing, explained, “Our strategic consulting team has been demonstrating the value of in-depth fleet operation analyses for sometime now, reporting significant potential savings in every project they’ve undertaken. By expanding their role to include support for our burgeoning global business, ARI is now uniquely positioned to exceed the needs of multinational companies whose fleets are inherently more complex. These businesses expect much greater support to deal with different countries’ cultures, tax regimes, leasing options and so on.”
Headed by Jim Creighton, who reports to Donato as Vice president of global strategic services, the new group includes Rob Hill, named manager of global sales and consultation. Hill has been a catalyst for ARI global fleet sales in conjunction with Global Fleet Services (GFS) partners. In his new position, Hill is responsible for maintaining relationships with GFS partners, establishing new partnerships as required to support ARI clients, and coordinating global account management and consulting services.
Also reporting to Creighton is Anthony Foursha, manager of strategic services. Anthony has been employed by ARI since 1998. Formerly a District Sales Manager in Dallas, he will oversee all projects related to in-depth consultative services and cost savings recommendations.
