Element Fleet Management, a publicly traded, pure-play automotive fleet manager, made two leadership transitions within its executive team.
After an illustrious tenure as chief operating officer, Jim Halliday will take on a new role as vice chair, continuing to report directly to Laura Dottori-Attanasio, CEO of Element. With over 20 years of dedicated service at Element, including his role as COO since 2018, Halliday has been pivotal in steering the company towards success.
“We are grateful to have Jim’s invaluable expertise and experience as we continue to grow our business and lead our industry for the future,” Dottori-Attanasio said. “Jim has been instrumental in driving our client-centric mindset, and in his role as vice chair, he will help ensure our strategy is aligned with our purpose and our emerging leaders will benefit from his mentorship.”
In his role, Halliday will focus on strengthening key relationships with clients and partners while providing strategic guidance to enhance the company’s performance.
“I’m thrilled to step into the role of vice chair and continue my journey with Element in this new capacity,” Halliday said. “This new position provides me the opportunity to concentrate my efforts on accelerating our growth strategy and enhancing our relationships with clients and partners.”
With this change, Element also promoted Ian Oncea to COO. Since joining Element as senior vice president of product strategy and continuous improvement, Oncea has proven to be an invaluable asset, leading strategic initiatives across Element. His extensive experience in operations and innovative product strategies, combined with his collaborative approach, makes him an ideal candidate to lead the team forward.
“We are excited to have Ian Oncea stepping into the COO role,” Dottori-Attanasio said. “Under Ian’s leadership, we will not only enhance our operational efficiency but also drive our strategic goals and continue to deliver exceptional value to our clients. His leadership and vision will undoubtedly drive Element forward.”
“I am honored to take on the role of chief operating officer and lead our dedicated team,” Oncea said. “As we navigate the future of mobility, my focus will be on fostering a client-centric mindset and ensuring that we not only meet but exceed client expectations through innovative solutions and strategic initiatives. I am excited to be part of a team that is dedicated to driving success for our clients and our businesses alike.”
