Amerit — dual headquartered in Walnut Creek, Calif., and Charlotte, N.C. — provides fleet maintenance, repair and management services. The company said McKeehan’s appointment supports its efforts to expand its fleet services across North America.
McKeehan has focused during her career on building data-driven organizations and using technology, digital capabilities and AI to change operating processes, according to the release. Her approach emphasizes incorporating technology into employees’ work rather than treating it as a stand-alone objective.
“Fleet uptime is business uptime. Amerit’s technicians deliver that every day for customers operating some of the most complex fleets in the country,” McKeehan said. “I’m excited to build on that strength, bringing together our people, technology and operating expertise to help customers improve performance and keep their businesses moving.”
