Holman, a global automotive services organization, announced that Eric Attias has joined the company as Vice President of Sales for the organization’s Canadian Fleet and Mobility division.
In his new role, Attias is tasked with sustaining Holman’s continued growth in the Canadian market and throughout North America. Attias will also provide strategic oversight for a team of Canadian sales managers who are responsible for aligning the company’s holistic fleet management solutions with the specific needs of each customer to optimize efficiency and minimize the total cost of ownership throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle – buy, drive, service, and sell.
“Eric’s extensive leadership experience and operational fleet expertise combined with his profound understanding of the Canadian market will be invaluable to our clients and our entire organization. We’re certainly excited to welcome him to Holman,” said Craig Pierce, Senior Vice President, Fleet & Mobility Sales, Holman. “Fleet operators continue to experience unprecedented disruptions and face new, evolving challenges that often transcend fleet.
