Vehicle Management Systems (VMS), formerly known as EVAI, today announced its official rebrand. VMS rebrand reflects a broader vision for the company, evolving from its initial electrification-focused beginnings into an AI-first platform with far-reach applicability across all types of powertrains and established industries. What began as an Agentic AI solution for EVs quickly proved to address the same operational challenges across mixed fleets, regardless of powertrain. The VMS platform takes an AI-first approach – improving vehicle uptime with a solution that is nimble, flexible, and easy to adopt.
As part of the rebrand, David Prusinski has been appointed co-CEO of VMS, joining founder Ian Gardner in leading the company forward. Prusinski is a technology executive with over two decades of experience scaling revenue teams in automotive technology with deep domain expertise in fleet management services. He most recently served as chief revenue officer of Ford Integrated Services, where he was responsible for driving commercial and retail solutions for millions of Ford vehicles across North America and Europe. Earlier in his career, he held senior leadership roles in commercial fleet management services, sales, partnerships, marketing, and business development, helping to drive transformational growth and build global partner ecosystems.
Also, Muffi Ghadiali joins VMS as strategic advisor, bringing over 20 years of leadership at the intersection of technology, energy, and transportation. A clean transportation pioneer, Ghadiali most recently served as head of Ford Pro Charging, where he played a key role in launching Ford’s commercial EV infrastructure and energy services. He previously co-founded and led Electriphi, a charging and energy management platform acquired by Ford Pro in 2021.
