Mercer appoints people, culture leader
Mercer has appointed former KPMG execute, Gaye Morris, as its people and culture leader, to lead the function for Mercer Pacific’s 2,000-strong workforce across Australia and New Zealand.
Morris has over 20 years’ experience as a senior human resources executive in the financial services sector, including head of people experience and reward at KPMG.
She also held roles at ANZ in a range of senior HR positions, including global functional HR roles with large, geographically dispersed teams.
