Josh Currie / 2026

I build better operations.

I combine operational excellence, analytics, automation and product thinking to improve customer experience at scale. Alongside my role leading Operational Excellence for European Customer Care at Hertz, I’m building Hized—a consultancy focused on modern data platforms, AI and operational transformation.
