The National Business Group on Health announced Monday that Helen Darling, its president and CEO of a dozen years, will be retiring at the end of next April. Brian Marcotte, currently vice president of compensation and benefits at Honeywell, will replace Darling effective May 1, 2014, according to NBGH.
A former congressional staffer and principal at William W. Mercer, Darling led the purchasing of health and disability benefits for Xerox and served as practice leader for Watson Wyatt Worldwide. In 2001 she took the reins of NBGH, a nonprofit coalition dedicated to representing employers’ perspectives on national health policy issues. “During her tenure,” the group said in a written statement, “she has emerged as one of the nation’s foremost authorities and a leading voice on employer-sponsored health care benefits and the U.S. health care system.”
