Taco van der Leij and the new Shiftmove ogre
For connoisseurs of the world of telematics, the name Taco van der Leij is probably not foreign. For the others, know that he was the head of Webfleet Europe for 6 years and that he has been sailing in the fleet sector for over 15 years. An experienced man who has therefore been responsible, for the past few months, for managing Shiftmove France. Here too, some clarifications are required. Shiftmove France was born from the acquisition of Optimum Automotive. The holding company behind this operation is of German-Swiss origin and its ambition is to become the European leader in telematics by 2027 with 1 million vehicles monitored. France is at the heart of its strategy since in addition to the acquisition of Optimum Automotive, Shift‑move has officially positioned itself to take over Océan. Taco van der Leij is working to rapidly develop the French subsidiary, who is also responsible for international development. A double hat for this Dutchman who has the advantage of knowing our country and its language well.
