(FEBRUARY 3, 2014 — PRINCETON, NJ) – Frank Dankovich, the new
Director-Fleet Sales for Chrysler, will make one of his first public
appearances in his new position at NAFA’s 2014 Institute & Expo in
Minneapolis, MN on April 9. Dankovich will take part in the OEM panel,
in which key automotive executives answer the questions most on the
minds of fleet managers.
“The OEM panel is always one of the most popular sessions at NAFA’s
annual conference,” said NAFA’s Executive Director, Phillip E. Russo,
CAE. “It’s a rare opportunity for fleet managers to meet and hear
directly from the people whose ideas and visions shape the purchasing
decisions within the industry.”
In the months prior to the conference, NAFA Members are encouraged to
submit questions for the panel, which will be moderated by NAFA
President Claude Masters, CAFM. These questions are provided to the
panelists in advance to ensure they are able to give detailed
responses. At the end of the session, panelists are offered the
opportunity to take questions directly from audience members.
Dankovich has enjoyed a long career at Chrysler, starting out in 1986
as a District Sales Manager in the Chicago Zone and moving up through
the ranks from Field Operations Manager to Regional Truck Marketing
Manager and Senior Manager positions (including Daily Rental Sales,
Field Operations, and Large Commercial Sales). Prior to his new
position, he held the title Head of Government Sales and Operations.
Dankovich, who has extensive experience in sales and marketing, replaces
Jim Sassorossi who has become Head of Fleet Service and Parts for
Chrysler.
Representatives from other OEMs will be announced in the near future.
