25 years

Marion D. Crow, CAFM®
Fleet Coordinator
Hilti, Inc.
Tulsa, OK

"I started with Hilti as a temp in 1989 and moved into the full-time Fleet Coordinator role in May of 1990. My original plan was to work five years, but encouraged by my then Fleet Manager I studied for and obtained my CAFM® in 1994. 

"With the benefits that came with the certification, the opportunities the Fleet Coordinator role offered, and the satisfaction of meeting the day to day challenges, 27 years later I am still at it; challenged to stay on top of a rapidly changing industry.  

"Sometime, possibly in the not too distant future, I plan to join my husband of 46 years in retirement so we can travel. But for now, I am enjoying the long career with Hilti, and grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given."


Katie Rixman  
Manager Global Fleet
Brown-Forman
Louisville, KY

Katie Rixman has been involved with fleet for Brown-Forman for over 26 years, beginning with a small U.S.-based sales/executive fleet, and advancing to global expansion, managing the development and implementation of country-specific programs with 1,400+ participants in 41 countries today.

With small fleets in many locations, Rixman's work involves a centralized, regionally-implemented program that is HR as well as financially competitive. All-inclusive fleet programs range from company-provided cars to allowances and reimbursements, with driver safety and continued reduction of C02 emissions being a priority.
 
In addition to being a member of the former NAFA Board of Governors and Fleet Advisory Council over the years, Rixman has been a speaker on several occasions at NAFA's annual conference, the Institute & Expo.

It is the strength of our Members like Marion and Katie that has helped make NAFA the strongest association in fleet management today.
