Marsh & McLennan opens data analytics center in Ireland

Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc. has opened the Marsh & McLennan Innovation Center in Dublin, the company announced Thursday.

The center will be a data and analytics development platform for Marsh & McLennan's businesses — Marsh L.L.C., Guy Carpenter & Co. L.L.C., Mercer L.L.C. and Oliver Wyman Group — “to deliver industry-leading digital solutions to clients,” Marsh & McLennan said in a statement.

Marsh & McLennan said the center is the first of its kind for the company. The project is supported by Ireland's Department of Jobs through IDA Ireland, a government agency that promotes industrial development in the country.

“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,” Marsh & McLennan President and CEO Dan Glaser said in the statement.

Marsh & McLennan has expanded the responsibilities of Chief Technology Officer David Fike, who relocated to Dublin last year, to include serving as the center's president, the company said in the statement.
