Leading HR consultancy Mercer has welcomed back three former employees to its New York City offices. After spending time at other firms, the three have returned to Mercer to take on new leadership roles. Taryn Branca has been named Market Sales Leader for the Tri-State area, Paulette Welsing has been named M&A East Market Business Leader, and Robyn Cameron has been appointed a Partner, Client Management. All three are newly created positions.
