Chrissy has the full support of the board and the family.” As CEO, Taylor will oversee global strategy and operations for Enterprise Holdings, which along with its affiliate Enterprise Fleet Management, offers extensive car rental, carsharing, truck rental, fleet management, retail car sales and other transportation services.

“It is an incredible honor to be named CEO and lead our talented team of employees,” said Chrissy Taylor. “I’m grateful for the outstanding leaders who have entrusted me to build on their accomplishments and fully committed to ensuring the business is successful for another 62 years and beyond. I look forward to working with our team to not only evolve with the mobility industry but
also to help shape it, finding new and innovative ways to make travel easier and more convenient for customers.”
Taylor will become one of the highest-ranking women among the world’s largest travel companies and one of the top female CEOs across all industries, based on company revenue. In addition to CEO, she will retain her current title of President.
“Chrissy is the epitome of the Enterprise culture – always customer first, with a dedicated focus on team work,” said David Kemper, Enterprise Holdings board member and chair of the nominating committee. “It’s been a pleasure to watch her evolve into the strong and thoughtful leader she is today; she will be a terrific CEO.”

In 2006, Taylor relocated to London to further develop Enterprise’s market in the U.K., Germany and Ireland. Upon receiving her executive MBA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2010, Taylor joined Enterprise Holdings’ Treasury group, where she assisted in the financial restructuring of the company’s fleet management business. She was named Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer in 2016 and President in 2019.
