Experience

1. Senior Partner

   Mercer

   Dec 1996 — Present

   I work with clients on their healthcare and group benefit programs, connecting dots for employers and employees helping them reduce cost and risk while improving the benefits experience. While I work on the full range of health and benefits programs, I have deep subject matter expertise in life, absence and disability programs, retiree medical and captives. I currently serve as Mercer\'s Non-Health Innovation Leader, responsible for developing new intellectual capital and product development. Those non-health benefits include not just life, accident, absence, disability, dental, vision and voluntary benefits but how those benefits fit into the employers broader health and wealth strategy. My focus is less on theory and more on practical, tangible solutions that increase the value of non-medical benefits to employers and employees.
