Premier Truck Rental (PTR) announced the promotion of Dawn Black to chief human resources officer. With more than 25 years as a human resource leader and more than five years of dedicated service at PTR, Black has been instrumental in the company's substantial growth and success, having tripled the staff; led the hiring initiative and culture transfer of a second facility; and cultivated a company culture that seamlessly connects team members across multiple locations and remote environments.

Black began her human resources career at Weaver Popcorn, where she developed a foundation in talent management and employee relations. She then spent six years as HR manager of Guardian Automotive, followed by more than six years as director of HR at Matilda Jane Clothing, where she expanded her expertise in workforce development and organizational growth.

Since joining PTR, Black has grown from director of human resources to vice president of HR and now chief HR officer (CHRO). Her tenure at Premier Truck Rental has been marked by significant contributions to talent acquisition, workforce planning and creating a company culture that values unity and inclusivity across all teams.

Black's promotion underscores PTR's commitment to serving its employees by fostering a supportive, inclusive environment for growth and success.

Holding the Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) and Society for Human Resource Management Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP) credentials, Black brings an impressive breadth of expertise to her new role.
