Mark Whatley joins Milliman as demand grows for the firm’s employee benefits services in Asia

SINGAPORE, July 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Milliman, Inc., a premier global consulting and actuarial firm, today announced that the company is further expanding its employee benefits practice in Asia as demand grows for the firm's services. Mark Whatley joins Milliman as a consulting actuary in Singapore, where he will focus on further developing the firm's employee benefits business across multinational, local and government-linked organisations. Previously, Mark directed Willis Towers Watson's benefits practice in South East Asia. His benefits and financial services experience spans 22 years and three continents, including significant expertise in the South East Asian markets.

Mark says, "Employers across Asia are looking to manage their benefit programs from three key angles.  Firstly, benefits are being used as an attraction and retention driver in the ongoing war for talent.  Secondly, employers are seeking to offer benefits that are the right fit for an ageing and multigenerational workforce.  Thirdly, cost and value management remains top of my mind given the existing spend on benefits.  In a rapidly developing market such as this, Milliman is able to provide benefits advice that is objective and independent–and I am excited to be a part of it."

Danny Quant, principal in Milliman's Singapore office, says, "Mark is a known leader and trusted adviser in a market that continues to grow and broaden. His extensive industry experience consulting for both multinational and local organisations in Singapore and across South East Asia makes him a great asset to Milliman, and I'm thrilled to welcome him to the firm."
