Marsh & McLennan and IDA Ireland have partnered to open the Marsh & McLennan Innovation Centre in Dublin, Ireland.
The centre, a first for Marsh & McLennan, will be a data and analytics development platform for its businesses—Marsh, Guy Carpenter, Mercer and Oliver Wyman—to deliver digital solutions to clients. The project is supported by the Department of Jobs through IDA Ireland.
“We are proud to launch the Marsh & McLennan Innovation Centre in Dublin as part of our efforts to develop the next generation of data-driven technologies and analytics across our Company," said Dan Glaser, president and CEO of Marsh & McLennan.
"With nearly 600 employees in Ireland, Marsh & McLennan has benefited over the last four and a half decades from the skilled and global workforce in Ireland and the country’s culture of advancing technology and innovation.”
The company has expanded the responsibilities of its chief technology officer, David Fike, to include serving as president of the Innovation Centre. Fike relocated to Dublin in late 2014.
Marsh & McLennan’s Innovation Centre is expected to create up to 100 highly-skilled jobs.
