Marsh has promoted Mercer Pacific Chief Financial Officer, Court Haas to the position of interim chief executive of Mercer Super.

The company said Haas’ elevation would become effective from 13 August although the recruitment process for a permanent CEO is still underway overseen by the chair of Mercer Super, former TAL chief executive, Jim Minto.

Haas succeeds Claire Ross who leaves Mercer after almost 17 years in senior leadership roles across three continents, most recently serving as Mercer Pacific’s Chief Operating Officer and then CEO at Mercer Super.

Marsh Pacific chief executive, David Bryant said Ross’ leadership and breadth of knowledge had been foundational to Mercer Super’s transformation over recent years.

“Mercer Super has undergone tremendous growth over recent years with the fund now serving more than one million members with over $85 billion under management,” he said.

“Underpinning that growth is our ongoing investment program in personnel, technology, systems and processes which is strengthening the fund for the benefit of members.”
