LexisNexis Risk Solutions Appoints Noted Workforce Policy Executive Amy Simon as Head of Labor and Workforce Solutions

LexisNexis® Risk Solutions announced the appointment of Amy Simon as Head of Labor and Workforce Solutions reinforcing its strategic focus on supporting state agencies in delivering critical services, achieving their missions, and protecting public trust. Simon, a nationally recognized leader in workforce innovation and public policy, joins the company after executive roles at the U.S. Department of Labor and Simon Advisory, the firm she founded in 2021.

In this newly created role, Simon will lead a cross-functional team to bring cutting-edge data, identity, and fraud prevention solutions to the frontlines of public service and benefit delivery.

“With her rare combination of policy depth, executive leadership, and a relentless focus on impact, Amy is exactly the right leader to help state agencies meet the moment,” said Haywood Talcove, CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions – Government. “Her firsthand experience modernizing national workforce programs and guiding leaders through transformational change makes her an invaluable asset to our customers and our mission.”

Simon’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for state workforce agencies navigating heightened public demand, complex regulatory pressures, and the imperative to modernize aging systems.

As founder of Simon Advisory, she counseled state agencies, policy leaders, technology firms, and other workforce ecosystem partners on strategy, operations, and policy. In addition to testifying before the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee on pandemic unemployment fraud, she wrote and spoke extensively on pandemic fraud solutions, unemployment insurance modernization, and workforce policy innovation. She previously served as Acting Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration, where she oversaw policy direction and operations for a $10 billion portfolio of workforce investment, unemployment insurance, and discretionary grant programs.

“This work is deeply personal for me as both a policy leader and victim of pandemic fraud,” said Simon. I have seen firsthand how service delivery technology can either empower or fail people at their most vulnerable point of need. State agencies are on the front lines, both defending against fraudsters and ensuring seamless experiences for benefit recipients. I look forward to supporting them on both fronts. I am thrilled to join the unmatched team, tools, and vision at LexisNexis Risk Solutions and support these agencies to serve with speed, integrity, and trust.”

Simon will begin her new role on August 11, 2025, and will be based in Washington, D.C.

With this appointment, LexisNexis Risk Solutions continues to strengthen its leadership team and deliver next-generation support to the government agencies shaping the future of work in America.
