"This year has been one ofsignificant change and pride for me. I was a health and benefitsconsultant at a large consulting firm with clients and colleagueswho I loved, but my soul told me that it was time for me to take ona new challenge and opportunity for growth. My new role at Merceris as a Client Relationship Manager for some of our largest globalclients across all of our lines of business (health, wealth andcareer). It has been an awesome change and I love what I am doingnow; however, it is also humbling to no longer be a subject matterexpert. It is my job to build trust and credibility with clients,understand their business, their strategic objectives andchallenges and align that back to ways that we can help them solvetheir problems and plan for the future.
