- GreenRoad, the world’s leader in driving safety and efficiency, today announced the hiring of Thomas R. Ness as Vice President, Corporate and Strategic Sales. Ness brings significant commercial fleet industry experience and an impressive customer management track-record to GreenRoad’s leadership team as the Company continues to rapidly expand its breakthrough risk reducing, money saving driver-focused solution for fleets. Today, GreenRoad services coached drivers through almost 150 million risky and inefficient driving maneuvers with leading fleets around the globe in the major expense categories: fuel spend, crash costs, vehicle wear and tear and insurance costs.
“Thomas has an impressive history of delivering world class sales, management and support to customers–and his leadership will play an integral role in our continued growth and commitment to providing fleets with the most sophisticated and comprehensive solution to increasing driving safety and efficiency,” said Dan Steere, CEO of GreenRoad.
Ness comes to GreenRoad with more than 15 years of sales and customer experience in the telematics industry. Prior to his new position at GreenRoad, Ness spent 11 years at Trimble Navigation and Then @Road Inc, subsequently purchased by Trimble. For the past three years, Thomas was vice president of corporate and strategic sales at Trimble and responsible for developing the Company’s strategic customer relationships. At Trimble, he was responsible for signing some of the largest U.S. service fleets.
“GreenRoad is truly revolutionizing driving safety and I’m thrilled to join the team and help lead this industry transformation to safer and more efficient drivers,” Ness said. “Just as MRM transformed the operations of fleets more than a decade ago, GreenRoad’s technology is completely redefining how fleets approach driving safety and efficiency today.”
At GreenRoad, Thomas is responsible for building and managing sales for key fleets. He has already been instrumental in defining some of the next generation of world class services to GreenRoad fleet customers.
