With Women-In-Distress, de Aguiar has been a key donator of the organization himself since 2012.
As Fleet Advantage continues to grow, de Aguiar continues to lead the company-wide initiative on documenting specific departmental processes, so that new and current employees can understand all procedures more holistically. de Aguiar has worked with every team in the organization with a goal to break down company silos, improve the overall culture, and create better efficiencies for Fleet Advantage overall.
"On behalf of our entire team, we are thrilled that Matt was honored with this recognition as one of South Florida’s best and brightest individuals impacting our local community, said Brian Holland, President and CEO of Fleet Advantage. Since joining Fleet Advantage nearly three years ago, Matt has implemented many tangible enhancements to the company and as his mentor, I look forward to continuing to offer any advice that I can.
