Heidrick & Struggles -- a provider of executive search, leadership assessment and development, organization and team effectiveness, and culture-shaping services -- has appointed Amy Goldfinger and Mike Theilmann as co-leaders of the Global Human Resources Officers Practice, based in New York City and Dallas, respectively.

Goldfinger has advised clients in HR transformation, accelerated leadership, talent management strategy and execution, leadership assessment and development, and onboarding at the firm for over 11 years. She has executed senior-level human resources searches for various companies.

"A proven trusted advisor to her clients in the human resources advisory space, Amy is consistently a top performer at Heidrick," managing partner Ron Lumbra said.

Theilmann joined Heidrick & Struggles in June 2017, with over 25 years of global experience in retail, hospitality, consumer goods and venture capital. He was chief HR officer of J.C. Penney, and also served in several domestic, corporate and international human resources executive roles at Yum Brands.

"Mike knows from his own experience the demands placed on today's senior human resources officers at top organizations, where talent is recognized as the key differentiator in very competitive industries," Lumbra said
