Orlando Ashford, previously Chief HR and Communications Officer
at Mercer’s corporate parent, Marsh & McLennan Companies, will
join Mercer to lead the firm’s new business expansion in corporate
board, CEO and C-suite effectiveness. Mr. Ashford will also lead
Mercer’s consulting services in change management, diversity, and
executive talent development.
“The mission of the new business segment which Orlando will lead
will be to help our clients create shareholder value by developing
their people and addressing human capital issues at all levels of
the organization, starting with the CEO and extending to the
management team and beyond,” said Pat Milligan, President of
Mercer’s Talent, Rewards and Communications Group. “Plans are for
this new business segment to offer consulting expertise in
corporate board, CEO and C-suite effectiveness, change management,
diversity and executive talent development, providing a
comprehensive and integrated set of capabilities that we can
deliver globally to our clients.”
Ms. Milligan said: “Over the next several weeks we envisage the
transfer of the leadership development group, previously part of
Oliver Wyman (which like Mercer, is an operating unit of Marsh
& McLennan Companies), along with most of those in the North
American part of its Delta business who focus on CEO effectiveness,
culture change, employee engagement, and talent and leadership,
transitioning to Mercer under Mr. Ashford's leadership.”
“In leading a major consulting group advising Mercer clients, we
believe Orlando brings the unique perspective of previously holding
the top human resources position at one of the world’s leading
multinationals, Marsh & McLennan,” said Julio Portalatin,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Mercer. “Human Capital
management has moved to the forefront of the C-suite agenda and
Orlando has been a leader and advisor at the most senior levels of
decision making.”
Prior to joining Marsh & McLennan in 2008, Mr. Ashford was
with the Coca-Cola Company as Group Director of Human Resources for
Eurasia and Africa based in Istanbul, Turkey. Previously, Mr.
Ashford was Vice President, Global HR Strategy and Organizational
Development for Motorola, Inc. He has also held leadership
positions with Mercer Delta Consulting, Ameritech, and Andersen
Consulting.
Mr. Ashford serves on the Board of Directors for ITT
Corporation. Additionally, he sits on the Board of Directors for
the Executive Leadership Council (ELC) and Streetwise Partners. Mr.
Ashford also serves on advisory boards for Purdue University School
of Technology, the NFL Players Association and TheLadders.com.
In 2010 and 2012, Mr. Ashford was named by Savoy Magazine as one
of the “100 Most Influential Blacks in Corporate America”. In 2011,
Uptown Professional Magazine named him one of the top 100
executives in corporate America.
Mr. Ashford holds a BS in organizational leadership and an MS in
industrial technology, both from Purdue University. In 2006, he
received the Purdue University School of Technology Distinguished
Alumni Award.
Marsh & McLennan recently announced the appointment of
Laurie Ledford as Mr. Ashford’s successor as Senior Vice President
and Chief Human Resources Officer.
