– Telematics can align with the KPIs to consolidate the data for in-depth reports and visual dashboards;

CAFM Office Hours: Asset Management with Fred Gallardo, CAFM (October 2024)
2024-10-16 12:00 - 13:00
The notion of “office hours” traces its roots back to an academic tradition. During this designated time, students were aware that they could visit a professor’s office to seek advice, discuss ideas, tackle challenges, and find solutions with the guidance of an expert. Now, you have the opportunity to benefit from Office Hours as well! Rather than meeting with professors, you’ll have the chance to connect with a busy, knowledgeable, well-connected CAFM who has dedicated time specifically for you and your fellow candidates. As you aspire to attain your CAFM, your Office Hours Host is here to assist.

In this session, Fred Gallardo, CAFM will:
• showcase his career journey and experiences
• teach a 10-minute insider lesson on one competency – Asset Management
• discuss 4 practice questions (after you give them a try)
• share his favorite test taking pro-tip
• engage in open dialogue to answer your questions

Meet Your Host: Freddie Gallardo is the Assistant Director of Fleet Services for the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). Freddie oversees a diverse fleet of more than 1,000 vehicles that travel up and down the state of Calofornia and a talented team that manages day and evening shop operations, motor pool operations, parts operations, and shuttle operations. Freddie is ASE Master Certified in Automotive/Medium/Heavy Truck as well as holding his CAFM certification. Freddie began his career as a Technician and later had the opportutnity ot serve his team as a Supervisor and eventually as Assistant Director. The CAFM certification was instrumental in accelerating his career from Supervisor to Assistant Director.
