Montag adds Ex-White House staffer Lierman

Uber agent Sandy Montag looked to the political world for his most recent hire.

The Montag Group hired former Obama administration staffer Kyle Lierman as director of strategic planning and social responsibility. During the Obama administration, Montag was on the White House’s engagement committee that Lierman ran to foster better outreach to celebrities and athletes. At the time, Lierman was senior associate director of public engagement and senior policy adviser, where he worked with the first lady’s programs involving higher education.

“Based on this experience, he will work with our clients with their endeavors in charity, community and social media,” Montag said via email.
