Earlier in his career, Lee was a corporate actuary and had the opportunity to design and develop valuation software for both pension and retiree medical plans. At Mercer, Lee has consulted with employers regarding, plan design, and risk management strategies for their pension, defined contribution, and retiree medical programs.  Lee’s passion for optimal plan designs has led to creative and innovative solutions, as well as numerous speaking engagements, primarily on the topic of risk-sharing pension plan designs.

With employees increasingly being asked to take more individual responsibility for their own health and wealth, Lee made the decision in 2015 to expand his consulting focus beyond retirement, to include financial wellness as well.  Consequently, Lee is now focused on consulting with companies regarding their financial wellness programs, helping them with strategy development and execution.
