ST. LOUIS, June 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Lisa Moehlenkamp has been appointed chief talent officer of FleishmanHillard. In her new position, Moehlenkamp will oversee the firm's human resources, employee training and development, and workplace quality programs across its global network of 80-plus offices in 30 countries.

Moehlenkamp had been leading the team responsible for talent management in the agency's U.S. East and Mid-Atlantic regions, as well as in Latin America and EMEA.

She succeeds Agnes Gioconda, who after 20 years in the job, is stepping back to take on a part-time role as she begins to transition to retirement.

"Lisa is an obvious and excellent choice to step into this role," Senay said. "She has a proven track record of success and is known throughout the firm for the energy, intelligence and strong work ethic she brings to everything she does. Among other things, Lisa is a leading member of the team that helps our firm achieve recognition by the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE), PRWeek and others as an outstanding place to work.

"We have built a world-class talent development team at FleishmanHillard, focused on giving employees the best professional experience of their career," Senay continued. "Lisa is the perfect person to carry on that tradition and help guide us into the future as the true employer of choice in our profession."

Moehlenkamp, who joined FleishmanHillard in 1998, has worked in human resources and talent management for 25 years. Prior to joining the agency, she worked in various human resource roles for AT&T. She holds a master's degree in human resources from Webster University in St. Louis and an undergraduate degree in management from Maryville University, also in St. Louis.
