Hertz has named Justin Keppy its new EVP and chief operating officer, effective Nov. 15. Keppy will run the day-to-day operations of the global business, the car rental company announced Tuesday.
Keppy will join Hertz from Carrier Corp., where he most recently served as president of North America residential and light commercial HVAC. Previously, Keppy worked at UTC Aerospace Systems, Hamilton Sundstrand, Shawmut Corp., Ford Motor Co., and the U.S. Army, according to Hertz.
Former Hertz president and chief operations officer Paul Stone stepped down from his role effective Sept. 30 to pursue opportunities in the retail sector, according to Hertz. Stone will remain with the company in a transitional capacity through Oct. 31.
These changes come a few months after Hertz CFO Alexandra Brooks took over for departing CFO Kenny Cheung.
