Recently, Hertz has hired a new CEO, John P. Tague, who has also been approved by Mr. Icahn. The investor said via Twitter that he believes that Hertz has hired "an excellent CEO." The decision, however, might not have been received so good by another activist investor that stepped up after Mr. Icahn. Barry Rosenstein of JANA Partners sent a letter to Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:HTZ)'s board at the beginning of November, proposing the former CEO of Dollar Thrifty (a car rental company acquired by Hertz) Scott Thompson as a candidate for the CEO position. JANA Partners holds a 7% stake in Hertz, which contains 32.03 million shares including options.
