Information Experts Hires New Vice President, Human Capital

RESTON, VIRGINIA, April 6, 2009—Information Experts, an integrated communications firm providing strategic communications, human capital, and learning solutions, recently hired Amy B. Smith as Vice President, Human Capital. Smith holds a master’s degree in Education and has extensive experience with a range of human capital management and training consulting services for the federal government, associations and non-profits, as well as the corporate sector. Previously, Smith held key a leadership position at a D.C.-area consulting firm, led her own consulting practice and ran education programs for a national trade association.

“Amy is an exceptional fit into our existing leadership team, as well as the IE culture,” says Marissa Levin, CEO of Information Experts. “She brings a broad and deep understanding of the human capital challenges that are pervasive throughout our government. Her experience as both a human capital strategist and hands-on practitioner makes her the ideal person to lead our best-in-class human capital practice, and will further enable IE to be recognized as a leader and visionary in the human capital sector.”

Smith will oversee all business development, client solutions, knowledge management and practice management efforts around human capital. Smith has extensive experience and a proven track record in all three key sectors; federal government, commercial and association/non-profit. As a published author, Smith also brings a wide range of human capital, learning and business management expertise to the organization.

"It is all about creating the workplace of the future. This is a very exciting opportunity at a very dynamic time," says Smith. "In our current economic environment, it is absolutely critical to put people first in order for organizations to survive long-term. Regardless of the sector, planning for massive baby boomer retirements and the influx of millennial generation workers requires new thinking and creative approaches to keep organizations healthy. Information Experts provides the perfect setting to do just this."

On the government side, Smith will focus on serving the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Training and Management Assistance (TMA) program. Information Experts holds two government-wide contracts within this vehicle, one for customized human capital solutions, the other for customized training and learning solutions.
