RYAN Johnson is the new managing director of Enterprise for the UK and Ireland.
Ryan takes over the reins at the vehicle rental and mobility provider following the appointment of former MD Khaled Shahbo as senior vice president of European operations.
Previously general manager of Enterprise’s largest UK region, the Southeast England group, Ryan first joined the business as a management trainee, like so many of Enterprise’s senior execs before him.
He began at a branch in Southern California in 1998, and he was appointed associate vice president of rental for the South-Central California team in 2008. He was later promoted to AVP and subsequently vice president of Enterprise Car Share and Enterprise Car Club and Rideshare.
Commenting on Ryan’s appointment, Khaled said:
Ryan’s grasp of the transport ecosystem and the importance of sustainable, affordable and flexible mobility to customers is exceptional. He takes over our UK & Ireland operations at a time when many businesses are looking to reinvent themselves and redefine their travel needs.
