Cars.com announced this week it has named a new vice president of human resources.

Formerly the chief human resources officer at the Ferrara Candy Company, Cynthia Hiskes now takes on the role with Cars.com where she will oversee all human resources functions for the company.

Hiskes will report directly to Alex Vetter, the company’s chief executive officer and president.

“I am thrilled to welcome Cynthia to the Cars.com leadership team,” Vetter said. “She brings a wealth of global human resources and business leadership to the company and her proven track record of success building talent management-driven organizations will be an asset to Cars.com. Cynthia will enable us to better recruit and retain talent that will move our business forward, while upholding the company’s strong culture.”

Prior to her time with Ferrara, Hiskes also served as the global human resources director for Rexam, a London-based company, as well as a variety of HR management roles at Freescale Semiconductor and a series of operations-focused positions at Procter & Gamble.

“This is an exciting time to join Cars.com as the company enhances its focus on making car shopping, selling and servicing a great experience,” Hiskes said. “I look forward to accelerating our brand, technical agility, product innovation and customer service and sales channels as we enhance our growth as a leading digital marketing company.”
