“As Donlen advances our offerings for large, global fleets, we are committed to investing in and retaining successful, results-oriented fleet professionals. Bob and Ian’s expertise and leadership will ensure that our growing customer base continues to be served at the highest level,” said Tom Callahan, Donlen president.

Barna will be working with Donlen's sales territory managers to build relationships with companies across the U.S. and develop strategic solutions to fleets resulting in streamlined processes and year-over-year cost reductions, the company said. Barna spent the past four years with LeasePlan in business.

“The Donlen team offers an unparalleled offering with the knowledge and experience to improve the efficiency of any size fleet.
