Mercer Global Names New Chief People Officer

Mercer Global Advisors has appointed Elizabeth Hioe to serve as new chief people officer for the Denver-based RIA, according to a September 24 press release.

Hioe will be responsible for Mercer Global’s talent strategy and HR programs and will join the firm’s executive leadership team. She previously served as chief administrative officer and chief human resources officer at Standard Industries. Prior to that, Hioe was a partner with McKinsey & Company. 

The move follows news in May that Martine Lellis would shift from chief talent officer to a role as principal in M&A partner development and at a point where Mercer Global says it has tripled its employee count to more than 1,150 in the past five years, while also making 85 RIA acquisitions since 2016.
