"Alex is an exceptional leader who brings to Hertz a track record of results across a broad range of operational and customer service roles.

"Dewayne's years of experience leading our rental car operations in the field, including on and off-airport, make him ideally suited to bring a focus of improved financial performance and responsible growth to our off-airport locations."
