Phillip Russo assumed the role of CEO of NAFA Fleet Management Association (NAFA), transitioning from his former position of executive director.

“For several years, NAFA has had a very aggressive strategic plan that called for the creation of many new programs, as well as the expansion of existing programs, within the association,” said Claude Masters, NAFA president. “In January, NAFA announced the addition and realignment of staffing resources to meet the association’s needs. Now, another piece of the puzzle is in place for NAFA, as Phil assumes duties as CEO.”

Russo’s primary focus as CEO will be to help develop NAFA’s vision, ensure the proper resources are in place to realize that visio and expand NAFA’s reach.

“I am thrilled to take on these new responsibilities,” Russo said. “I believe NAFA is truly on the verge of leaping from good to great and am very thankful that Claude and the entire NAFA board of trustees has given me the resources to make that happen. Their vote of confidence is tremendously gratifying and I will do everything I can to make sure we exceed everyone’s expectations.”
