Marsh McLennan Agency
Ryan Pirrone
Ryan Pirrone has spent the past nine years in employee benefits consulting, helping organizations find smarter, more creative ways to take care of their people while keeping an eye on the bottom line. His approach goes beyond insurance, focusing on the employee experience, physical and mental well being, and financial strategies that help employers navigate the ever rising cost of healthcare.
Ryan is a relationship builder at heart and a firm believer that most problems can be solved by getting the right people in the room. Friends, clients, and colleagues know him as the guy who “always has a guy.”
Ryan is a husband, dad of three kids, ages 6, 4, and 3, and a youth soccer coach, which means he spends his professional life helping HR teams manage competing priorities and his weekends doing essentially the same thing, just with more orange slices.
Pavle Badovinac
Pavle Badovinac brings more than 10 years of experience in employee benefits, healthcare strategy, client relations, and consulting. As a Client Executive at Marsh Agency, he manages client relationships within the employee benefits practice and helps employers navigate everything from medical renewals and pharmacy to stop loss, healthcare reform, compliance, benefits technology, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.
Pavle is passionate about helping employers make sense of a fragmented healthcare system and ensuring employees and their families truly understand and use the benefits available to them. He takes pride in being a trusted advisor who can help turn complex benefit decisions into clear, practical next steps.
Pavle is a husband and father of two daughters, Margot Mae and Josie Ann, with a baby boy due in December. He was born and raised in York, Pennsylvania and remains active in his community through philanthropy and service. He is a member of the York Rotary Club and serves on its Fundraising Committee.
