Mercer has appointed three new Australian entity board members, including two new independent non-executive directors. 

Melissa Babbage joins Mercer Investments (Australia) Limited (MIAL) board, while Jan Swinhoe has joined the MIAL board and the Mercer Superannuation (Australia) Limited (MSAL) board. 

Their roles include developing the strategy, monitor executive activity, look after financial controls and risk management systems, and manage ongoing compliance with relevant laws and licensing requirements. 

“Melissa and Jan bring a fresh perspective on the Mercer business and the marketplace in Australia which will be very helpful as we review our strategy plan and execute for the future,” managing director and Pacific market leader David Anderson said. 

“Their appointments take both the MIAL and MSAL boards to a majority of independent non-executive directors.” 

Babbage was previously with Deutsche Bank and Bankers Trust, and was on the boards of Swiss Re, Q Super, Athletics Australia and St Vincent’s Health. 

Swinhoe worked as an executive in banking, capital markets and life insurance with Westpac, BT Financial Group, County NatWest, Citigroup, and Mercantile Mutual. 

The firm has also appointed Michele Glover to the Mercer board. 

Glover is Mercer’s human resources leader for the Pacific.
