About
With over 50 years in the automotive and fleet industries — including 42 years in senior leadership at one of the world’s largest Fleet Management Companies — I’ve dedicated my career to reshaping how organizations manage their vehicles, equipment, and mobility strategies.​
Throughout my tenure, I created industry-first programs, enhanced existing solutions, and advised some of the world’s largest corporations, government agencies, and investment firms. My work has helped clients streamline operations, build lean, high-performance fleets, and realize billions in cost savings.
​In 2024, I founded WA Associates to pay it forward — offering strategic advisory to corporations, private equity and venture capital firms, and public-sector leaders navigating complex fleet and mobility decisions.​
I’m also the author of Maximizing Corporate Fleet Management Breaking Through the Cultural Wall — the industry’s only executive-level guide to optimizing fleet operations and supplier performance.​
“The key to fleet performance isn’t just tracking cost — it’s knowing where to look.”
– Tony Klym, Author & Advisor
