Both positions are new. Mr. Horton will help enhance Mercer’s investment manager operational risk assessment service, and Mr. Kohler will be responsible for supporting Mercer’s endowments and foundations business.
Mr. Horton will report to Freeman Wood, a principal and director of the Mercer Sentinel Group in Mercer’s investments business, while Mr. Kohler will report to Kimberly Wood, a senior partner and leader of Mercer’s investments business for non-profit clients.
