Mercer, a business of Marsh McLennan (NYSE: MMC) and a global leader in redefining the world of work, reshaping retirement and investment outcomes, and unlocking real health and well-being, today announced the appointment of Jim Minto as the Chair of Mercer Superannuation (Australia) Limited (MSAL).

The appointment follows a planned transition as long-standing Chair Jan Swinhoe steps down after a decade on the Board.

David Bryant, Marsh McLennan’s Pacific CEO and Mercer’s Pacific President, said, “Ms Swinhoe has made significant contributions to Mercer Super as a member and Chair of its Board. She oversaw the growth of the Mercer Super Trust (MST), including last year’s successful merger of BT Super into the MST.”

Mr Minto joined the Board in April 2021 and has 45 years’ experience in financial services, including 26 years in CEO roles.

Mr Bryant said, “Jim Minto brings deep expertise in life insurance, superannuation, trustee services, managed funds, investment management, financial planning, health insurance and general insurance.”  

Mr Bryant said the appointment comes while the Board of Mercer Super continues its extensive programme of transformation. He said, “Our work to make Mercer Super stronger and more resilient is accelerating.”
