In another big move by the rental car giant this month, Hertz named a chief information officer on Thursday.

Hired as executive vice president and CIO is Tim Langley-Hawthorne, whose most recent post was as CIO of Hitachi Vantara, a subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd.

Langley-Hawthorne was with Western Union prior to Hitachi, serving in several executive technology and operational roles.

His background also includes 20 years in IT, consulting and commercial positions at Information Services Group, Electronic Data Systems and IBM Australia.

“As we create the new Hertz, we’re investing in the technology that will enable a best-in-class, digital-first customer experience,” Hertz interim chief executive officer Mark Fields said in a news release.

“Tim’s proven track record of creating strong customer satisfaction and business value through technology make him the ideal leader to bring Hertz’s IT infrastructure up to world-class standards and support our efforts to lead the future of mobility and travel,” Fields said.

Langley-Hawthorne added: “I’m honored to join Hertz at this incredibly exciting time in the company’s history. I’m looking forward to leading transformative global IT initiatives and innovations that will support Hertz’s strategic vision and add value for customers and employees.”

Fields, former president and CEO of Ford Motor Co., was named interim CEO of Hertz earlier this month.

Paul Stone, previously the CEO, moved to the role of president and chief operations officer for the rental-car company.

Hertz announced on Monday that it has filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to a proposed public offering of its common stock.

Hertz’s common stock currently trades on the over-the-counter market under the symbol HTZZ. Hertz said that it intends to apply to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol HTZ in connection with the offering.
