Marsh has promoted Nick McMenemy to Mercer Marsh Benefits UK leader, subject to Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) approval.
Based in London and reporting to Phil Parkinson, Mercer UK’s president and CEO, McMenemy (pictured) will also work closely with Herve Balzano, Mercer’s president of health and benefits and Mercer Marsh Benefits’ global leader.
In his new role, McMenemy will be responsible for delivering health and benefits solutions in the UK, which help companies attract and retain talent, manage health costs, and improve workplace wellbeing.
He joined Marsh in 2019 and has nearly 28 years of experience in financial services. He has been a partner at Mercer since 2020 and has held several key leadership roles in the UK and is also co-chairman of Mercer’s UK Pride colleague resource group.
Parkinson said: “With wider pressures on society, the role of workplace health and benefits has become even more integral as firms manage and foster talent and deliver healthcare and protection to employees and their families.
“Nick brings a wealth of experience into this role, and I am confident he can deliver the solutions our clients need in a dynamic economic and social environment.”
McMenemy added: “The health of the nation and the workforce is increasingly the number one priority for policy makers and employers, and we are well placed to provide practical solutions across a diverse range of challenges.
“Our global reach and expertise in the delivery of benefits brokerage, consultancy, advisory and digital solutions mean we can help clients of all sizes and complexity. It is a privilege to be asked to lead in the UK at such a significant time.”
