Marren comes to Hertz from ExpressJet Airlines, part of SkyWest, Inc., where she held the position of chief operating officer. Prior to ExpressJet, Marren served as senior vice president at United Airlines and United Express. In that role, she was responsible for the airline's network operations control center, as well as managing its regional airline partners.

"I am excited to be joining the Hertz team and working with everyone to deliver service excellence to our customers," said Marren. "Hertz is an iconic brand with broad reach and a rich tradition of innovation and a reputation for premium service. I am honored to be part of the team."

Additionally, Hertz named Dewayne Kirkham as senior vice president and general manager of Hertz Local Edition (HLE). A 19-year veteran of Hertz, Kirkham will be in charge of leading Hertz's off-airport operation, which includes more than 3,000 U.S. locations.

"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," said Tague.
