Getting into Fleet<\/h5>\n

Murray has worked for Agfa Corporation for almost 40 years, with the past eight involved in fleet.<\/p>\n

Currently, Murray manages all aspects of the North American fleet with the company\u2019s FMC partner; updates and maintains the fleet policy, selector choices, OEM relationships, and more. She also handles other internal functions such as budgeting and internal relationships with end-users and executive management.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to a pending retirement in our General Services group at the end of 2011, I was asked to take over North American Fleet and Travel responsibilities for the company, with a reduction in my Facilities obligations. I agreed, and then, due to another organizational change in our group the following year, I was tasked with managing fleet, travel, and all facilities functions for North America, which my staff and I continue to manage today,\u201d Murray explained.<\/p>\n

Murray set active goals when she took over fleet for Agfa and has worked hard to accomplish them, with the support of her now-retired manager\/mentor.<\/p>\n

\u201cStreamlining all processes and selectors was the first on my list once taking over a legacy program. The reduction of selectors simplified management of the vehicle choice and strengthened the relationships with the OEM\u2019s in our program. Next was the removal of the reimbursement program and consolidation to a fleet car program. Personally, my goal was to acquire my CAFM, which I did in 2017. I was also awarded Automotive Fleet\u2019s Fleet Visionary of the Year<\/a> award in 2018 at the AFLA conference. I currently serve as the Chapter Chair for New Jersey NAFA,\u201d Murray said.<\/p>\n

Murray\u2019s responsibility to her company keeps her motivated to run the best fleet program she can.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fleet industry is exciting with all the automotive advances and, along with changes in mobility options, keeps the field open to new learning opportunities. These new mobility options allow synergy with my travel program, benefitting fleet discussions and decisions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

When it comes to advice for others in the industry? Many paths can lead to fleet professions, so open your scope when searching.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmbrace the challenges and opportunities presented to you, as you\u2019ll never know what you can do unless you try. Don\u2019t be afraid to propose changes to a legacy program for process improvement. Above all, network! The fleet community is a welcoming group and shares knowledge among its members, making both new and existing members valuable assets to the community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
