Work Truck Solutions, a leading commercial vehicle authority, announced that Kathryn Schifferle, founder and chief vision officer, has been named among 100 Leading Women in the North American Auto Industry by Automotive News. Schifferle and her co-honorees were featured in the May 19 issue and were also celebrated that same night at a gala at The Henry in Dearborn, Michigan, hosted by Automotive News.
The list of 100 Leading Women in the North American Auto Industry recognizes female leaders in the automotive field—those who make major decisions and have significant influence at their companies. Automotive News has published the list of the industry’s top female executives every five years since 2000. This sixth list includes engineers, mobility leaders, manufacturing and marketing executives, financiers, dealer principals and designers.
Schifferle’s Accomplishments Through Work Truck Solutions
Schifferle is widely recognized for her contributions to the commercial vehicle sector. As the founder and CVO of Work Truck Solutions, she has changed the way businesses of all sizes connect with and manage commercial vehicles. With a background in strategic business development, Schifferle has been a vocal advocate for all members of the commercial vehicle ecosystem, noted company officials in a press release.
Under Schifferle’s leadership, Work Truck Solutions says that it has expanded its influence in the commercial vehicle sector with Comvoy, the premier national marketplace for commercial vehicles. Aligning with her efforts to assist all in the work truck and van space, Comvoy was built to help buyers find the right vehicle at a dealership for their business, while simultaneously assisting dealerships with merchandising their inventory and expanding their reach.
Schifferle has also spearheaded numerous projects in the transportation sector. One of the most recent examples is the Commercial Electric Vehicle (CEV) Hub, a resource developed in collaboration with J.D. Power. CEV Hub provides businesses with interactive tools and insights to assist with fleet electrification, including available tax incentives, total cost of ownership calculations, and EV charging infrastructure mapping and matching. The development of the CEV Hub further demonstrates her commitment to driving industry-wide transformation, noted the release.
“Being recognized among the industry’s leading women is truly an honor, but more importantly, it underscores the progress we’re making in reshaping the way businesses interact with commercial vehicles. Work Truck Solutions and Comvoy have always been about innovation, ensuring that dealers, fleet managers and business owners have the right tools to thrive in an evolving landscape. As we continue to drive forward, I’m excited to be a part of how collaboration and technology are shaping the future of mobility.”
