Fulton has a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Indiana University and is a certified public accountant. 

“Jim Fulton is the ideal leader as Milliman continues to grow and change in this complex and evolving environment,” said Bret Linton, chair. “Jim knows Milliman and has been integral in our growth over the last decade.”
