BigRentz Appoints Experian President Jennifer Leuer to Board of Directors
BigRentz, the nation’s largest online equipment rental network, has named Jennifer Leuer, president of Experian Partner Solutions, to its board of directors. Leuer has experience in a variety of operating roles across the online financial services and real estate transaction markets.
Leuer is an active member with several Experian programs, including most recently sponsoring the region’s Women in Experian program. She is also active with the University of Califormia, Irvine Merage School of Business and the school’s Beall Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
“We found Jennifer’s varied experience, both in a platform business that sought to disrupt the traditional real estate transaction and in large, scalable online businesses, very relevant to BigRentz,” said Scott Cannon, BigRentz CEO and chairman of the board. “Additionally, her accomplishments in launching multiple products, leading acquisition integrations and creating membership retention and growth will be extremely valuable to BigRentz as we continue to grow across markets and regions.”
“I was immediately attracted to BigRentz’s commitment to building their business around their partners and clients,” said Leuer. “I look forward to working closely with BigRentz board of directors as we evaluate strategic growth initiatives that make renting equipment easier for the construction industry while enhancing the company’s value.”
Leuer also serves on the board of directors for OCTANe and OneOC. She has an MBA from the University of California, Irvine, and B.A. Communications from California State University, Fullerton.
