ESTERO, Fla. -

Hertz Global Holdings has named Jamere Jackson from Nielsen Holdings to replace outgoing company chief financial officer Thomas Kennedy.

The company announced Monday that after four-plus years with the company, Kennedy has resigned. And Hertz's senior vice president and chief accounting officer Robin Kramer will assume the additional role of acting CFO in the interim period ahead of Jackson’s arrival.

According to Hertz, Jackson, who mostly recently served as CFO of Nielsen Holdings, will be in charge of all financial aspects of the company.

“We are delighted to have Jamere join our team. He is a strategic, results-oriented financial leader with a proven track record of operational excellence,” Hertz president and chief executive officer Kathryn Marinello said in a news release. “Additionally, his collaborative leadership style coupled with an extensive and varied background, including in the consumer products and services arena, will serve Hertz well as we execute our growth strategy in a dynamic environment.”

Prior to joining Nielsen in March 2014, Jackson served as VP and CFO of General Electric Co.’s Oil & Gas – Drilling and Surface.

It was in 2004 that Jackson first joined GE. Before taking on his role as CFO at GE Oil & Gas, he held leadership roles in GE Global Business Services, GE Corporate and GE Aviation.

“It’s an exciting time to be joining Hertz as it leverages its rich history, brand strength and legacy of innovation to address an evolving marketplace,” Jackson said. “I look forward to becoming part of the team that is leading the company through its next phase of transformation.”

In addition to his time spent at GE, Jackson has also held past roles in finance, mergers and acquisitions and strategic planning at The Procter & Gamble Company, Yum! Brands, First Data Corp. and Total System Services.
