Future Leader Award
Holly Collins
Partner
Mercer
Holly Collins is a Partner with Mercer's Health & Benefit Practice in Newport Beach, Calif. She joined the firm 11 years ago and has over 15 years of experience in the employee health and benefit field. Collins specializes in strategic benefit plan program development for complex organizations. Collins provides a full range of consulting services, covering all aspects of employee benefits to Mercer's clients.
But a consulting career wasn't always in the cards for Collins, who majored in political science and started working as an insurance underwriter, which provided a great technical base of knowledge. "I knew early on that I wouldn't be happy underwriting for long as I needed a more dynamic, team-based and client-focused job," she says.
