Mercer reshuffles leadership team
Mercer has appointed Guy Thorburn to the role of business leader for retirement, risk and finance (RRF) consulting for Australia and New Zealand, leaving the incumbent, Tim Jenkins, to concentrate on the Asia Pacific region.
Jenkins has led the Australia and New Zealand business for the past seven years, while holding the joint role of Asia Pacific business leader for the past three years.
This internal appointment will give Mercer a dedicated leader for the Australia and New Zealand region, allowing Jenkins to concentrate on his role as region business leader for RRF consulting for Asia Pacific.
Thorburn has been with the company for the past 13 years, most recently as chief operating officer of the RRF business. He specialises in advising life insurance providers, retail fund managers and superannuation funds in the areas of prudential management, post-merger integration, product strategy and development and operational issues.
Thorburn will be based in Melbourne, effective immediately, while Jenkins will continue to be based in Sydney.
