Women in Fleet: Angela Gregorowicz<\/h2>\n

The Women in Fleet profile series<\/a> introduces fleet managers to some of the most influential women in fleet. Every month, we get to know another positive force in the fleet industry.\u00a0 This month, we spoke with Angela Gregorowicz, fleet cooperative account manager for LeasePlan USA.<\/p>\n

Getting into Fleet<\/h3>\n

Gregorowicz has been in the fleet industry for the past 20 years. She started her fleet career with Hoffmann-LaRoche (now Genentech, a member of the Roche Group) and began working with LeasePlan USA about three-and-a-half years ago.<\/p>\n

At LeasePlan USA, her current responsibilities include all exceptions. \u201cI am responsible for medical, size, and 4×4 exceptions, and executive support to include vehicle assignment, identification and correspondence. I handle departmental communications including annual policy review. I also manage restructures, imputed income support, and other special projects as needed, including the recent mobile app rollout, staff training, and more,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Gregorowicz made her way into fleet in a more traditional way than many others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI joined Roche with my associate degree working in the accounts payable department. After a few positions of increasing responsibility in that department, a role opened in the fleet department. I applied, and didn’t get it but I really wanted a role in the department so I applied again. A second position quickly opened, and I was hired. I must thank a few female managers\/mentors, Kathleen McGlory and Nancy Sampson who mentored me, and Michael Bieger for giving me the opportunity. The rest is history as they say,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

After obtaining her bachelor\u2019s degree, she was promoted to fleet manager at Roche.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worked my way up from a support role to the manager of the department in a short period. In that role, I managed many downsizings with tight turnaround times. I realized cost avoidances by reassigning existing inventory in place of ordering. I also rolled out a hybrid fleet program in partnership with the HSE manager. I also streamlined my selector from five vehicles to three in support of the CO2 emissions goal and leveraged supplier rebates for fleet savings,\u201d Gregorowicz recalled.<\/p>\n

She is also proud of her involvement with the New Jersey Chapter of NAFA.<\/p>\n

\u201cI held all board positions, including Chapter Chair and brought the Chapter to a better financial state and expanded the offerings at the ride ‘n drive. I\u2019m thankful to everyone I\u2019ve worked with through the years: my former staff, suppliers, co-workers, fellow NAFA member, and more,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Like many, it\u2019s the people that inspire Gregorowicz to succeed: \u201cI enjoy helping people, and in fleet, you do that daily.\u00a0 Additionally, there\u2019s always something new to learn, which keeps it fresh.\u00a0 Lots of opportunity for growth both professionally and intellectually,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Gregorowicz has this advice for anyone looking to join fleet: \u201cGo for it! Network, network, network, and be flexible. Join NAFA and AFLA and learn as much as you can. Volunteer and talk to people. There\u2019s a lot of smart, experienced, helpful people in the industry willing to help if needed,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n

Get to Know Me<\/h3>\n

Experience is only part of our story and what someone likes to read, watch, and listen to paints a fuller picture of their personality. Here are some of Gregorowicz\u2019s favorites:<\/p>\n

Book:<\/strong> \u201cHow to Win Friends & Influence People <\/em>by Dale Carnegie. Networking is crucial in today\u2019s environment, and this book teaches you how to do that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Movie:<\/strong> \u201cI don\u2019t have a favorite, but I enjoy watching the Godfather <\/em>trilogy, My Big Fat Greek Wedding<\/em>, and Pretty Woman<\/em>, to name a few,\u201d Gregorowicz said.<\/p>\n

Songs:<\/strong> \u201cI like lots of genres of music: DooWop, Soft Rock, Classical, and Dance. Anything that feels good!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

You May Not Know<\/strong>: \u201cStarting in grammar school through now, I\u2019ve been a lifelong volunteer. I\u2019ve volunteered for Wayne Unico, Our Lady of Consolation Church, Lions Head Lake Association, and Preakness Healthcare, among others,\u201d Gregorowicz shared.<\/p>\n
