NAPLES — Automotive rental giant Hertz says it has appointed Christian Cunningham as chief of human resources for Hertz Equipment Rental Corp. division.

The newly created position was created as Hertz prepares to separate its car and equipment-rental businesses into standalone, publicly traded companies.

“Chris is a superb addition to the Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation (HERC) senior leadership team. His experience in supporting a major IPO and spin off process in addition to his expertise in leading sophisticated corporate and field human resource programs will be invaluable” says Brian MacDonald, in a statement. MacDonald became Hertz interim CEO after Mark Frissora resigned on Monday following accounting and operation missteps.

“Chris' proven ability to build and lead effective teams in complex, multi-cultural environments will also be immensely useful to HERC as the company continues to expand its world-wide presence and diversify into new markets. As HERC continues its progress towards the anticipated separation from Hertz, the equipment-rental provider is building on a strong foundation and is well positioned for long-term growth,” MacDonald says in a statement.

Cunningham joins HERC from DFC Global Corporation where he served as vice president of human resources services since June 2013 with global responsibility for all human resource matters for corporate staff.
