Herc Holdings, a North American equipment rental supplier operating through Herc Rentals, hired Leslie Hunziker as senior vice president of investor relations and communications.

Hunziker will be responsible for all aspects of the company’s investor relations program, including serving as the principal contact with the investment community, as well as the company’s corporate communications and brand programs. She will succeed Elizabeth Higashi, vice president of investor relations and sustainability, and Paul Dickard, vice president of communications, who will transition their duties in phases prior to their planned retirements in late 2023.

Hunziker was most recently senior vice president of investor relations and communications for Wesco International, a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Pittsburgh. Prior to that, for 12 years, she was senior vice president of investor relations, communications and ESG for Hertz Global Holdings. She was also previously executive director of investor relations at Tenneco for seven years.

“Leslie brings comprehensive investor relations and communications experience, strategic insight and seasoned executive leadership to our company,” Larry Silber, president and CEO of Herc Rentals, said. “She also has great familiarity with Herc Rentals and the equipment rental industry, and I am confident that her contributions will advance our long-term strategic initiatives.”
