ST. LOUIS — FleishmanHillard has promoted Leah Katz to managing director of business development for the Americas, as which she is charged with furthering agency growth across the region.
In her new role, Katz will lead efforts and programs designed to attract new business for the agency and its brands. She will be part of the dedicated global business development group FleishmanHillard launched in 2016, which also includes EMEA and Asia Pacific regional leaders.
Most recently, Katz was a senior VP and senior partner in Fleishman’s New York office, which she joined in 2017 from FleishmanHillard Fishburn in London, where she ran operations. She originally joined FleishmanHillard as part of its late 2015 merger with Fishburn, where she was chief operations and client officer.
“We have a formidable global business development team and Leah has been an integral leader, helping drive strong win results as well as key growth initiatives,” said chief business development officer Della Sweetman. “Her business problem-solving skills, cross-platform expertise and ability to inspire and drive teams to develop strategic and creative solutions for clients have been great assets to the function and the agency.”
