Enterprise Holdings Appoints Christine Taylor as EVP and COO

Enterprise Holdings has promoted Christine Taylor to the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, making her one of the highest ranking women in the global car rental industry.

Enterprise Holdings owns the Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands.

Taylor previously was Senior Vice President of North American Operations for Enterprise Holdings, a position she assumed in 2013.

In her new role, Taylor will oversee the company's operations and continue to serve as a member of the corporate board of Enterprise Holdings Inc. She will report to the company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Pamela Nicholson.

"Chrissy has brought a winning combination of intelligence, energy and a tremendous work ethic to every challenge she has taken on in her 15-year car rental career," said Nicholson. "There's no doubt Chrissy will continue to do great things for our company and our customers."

Like most other senior executives at Enterprise Holdings, Taylor began her career by joining the renowned Enterprise Rent-A-Car Management Training Program.

In 2000, Taylor began working at several different rental locations, learning everything from inventory management to profit/loss statements and staffing. Transitioning in 2003 to Enterprise's corporate headquarters, she was appointed Corporate Rental Manager helping to oversee regional operations throughout the United States.

In 2006, Taylor relocated to London to further develop Enterprise Rent-A-Car's market in the U.K., Germany and Ireland.

She was promoted to Assistant Vice President of Rental soon thereafter, and in 2008 returned to St. Louis, where she focused on developing e-commerce initiatives for Enterprise Holdings' National and Alamo brands.

Upon receiving her Executive MBA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2010, Taylor joined Enterprise Holdings' Treasury group, where she assisted in the financial restructuring of the company's Fleet Management business.

She joined Enterprise Car Sales in August of 2011 and one year later was promoted to Vice President, overseeing all aspects of the car-sales retail operations.

Taylor also holds an undergraduate degree from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where she was a member of the Women's Division I Field Hockey Team, earning All American honors and serving as Co-Captain of the team.

She and her husband, Lee Broughton, have two children and live in St. Louis.
