As an Employee Benefits Sales Associate with Marsh & McLennan Agency, Parker consults with small to mid-sized employers to develop and implement a comprehensive benefits program. He works to provide innovative technology resources to make the employer-based health insurance process more efficient for the client and its employees. One major focus of his is to communicate changes effectively to create better health care consumers and keep employers current on regulatory issues.
Parker would describe success as building relationships with his clients and being able to identify, relate and deliver custom benefits solutions to best meet their needs. His passion lies in his belief that any consultant can provide advice and resources, but a true partnership is created when the benefits program is implemented in a way that allows the business to grow as a whole.
Prior to MMA, Parker demonstrated his drive and determination through his studies at Gustavus Adolphus College. He developed a passion for healthcare economics and entrepreneurship while pursuing his management degree. In his final semester, Parker published an academic journal which provided evidence that the risk-averse culture of Gustavus suppresses the entrepreneurial mindset of students in their professional careers.
