Mercer beefs up its not-for-profit sector

Mercer has appointed Rebekah Dunn in the role of Head of Endowments and Foundations for the Pacific region as part of a move to strengthen its local specialist expertise in advice and investment solutions for the not-for-profit sector,

Dunn joins Mercer’s already well-established investments team and will be responsible for growth and the continued delivery of strong outcomes for clients in this sector.

She has a career spanning two decades, and brings a depth of experience in investment strategy and implemented consulting. In her previous role as Head of ‘For Purpose’ clients at Russell Investments, she worked closely with not-for-profit organisations – the university sector in particular – growing the client base significantly over a period of six years.

Dunn said she was looking forward to working with Mercer’s broad range of endowments and foundations clients, and harnessing Mercer’s expertise in the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) space to deliver value to mission-led organisations.
