Mercer, the global consulting firm, has named a head of sales for its businesses in Asia, India, Middle East, Turkey and Africa, according to a statement. 

Effective immediately, Kulshaan Singh takes the lead sales role in Asia and IMETA to partner with the company's Growth Markets Region Leadership team drive sales and achieve growth in the regions. Singh brings 16 years of industry experience to his new post and joins from Aon Hewitt, where he held a number of senior leadership capacities during his 13 years with the firm.
