Benefits industry leader brings 20 years of innovation, strategic advisory, and hands-on brokerage experience to drive next-generation consulting platform, Symphony Consulting
Chicago – August 19, 2025 – Symphony Risk Solutions, a leading innovator in human capital consulting, risk management advisory, and insurance brokerage, today announced the appointment of Elliot Rosenblum as President of Symphony Consulting, the firm’s specialized employee benefits and total rewards advisory business.
Driving Strategy, Growth, and Client Success
With two decades of experience, Rosenblum will lead Symphony Consulting’s strategy, growth, and client service delivery. He will develop innovative benefits and total rewards solutions, expand advisory capabilities, and ensure employers have access to clear, actionable guidance in a rapidly evolving market. Leveraging Symphony’s client-centric, data-driven, and innovative approach, his leadership will help organizations maximize their total rewards investments, simplify benefits, control costs, and implement strategies that improve workforce health, productivity, and retention — delivering measurable value in a competitive talent market.
“Elliot understands that in benefits, complexity is the norm and clarity is the differentiator,” said Michael Marcon, CEO of Symphony Risk Solutions. “He’s worked every side of the table – from advising small employers to steering strategy for global organizations – and he knows how to turn emerging solutions into real-world value. For our clients, that means actionable strategies, smarter decisions, and a partner who shows up with answers when it matters most.”
A Career Built on Solving Complex Benefits Challenges
Throughout his career, Rosenblum has built a reputation for translating complex benefits and human capital challenges into clear, actionable strategies for employers. He has guided small and mid-sized businesses in resource-constrained environments, advised private equity-owned companies through intricate benefits integrations and harmonizations, and shaped national account strategies for some of the country’s largest employers.
From Innovation to Execution
Before joining Symphony Risk, he was Vice President of National Account Customer Strategy at Surest, an innovative health plan that redefined the traditional insurance model by prioritizing simplicity, transparency, and member choice. Prior to that, he was part of the leadership team for Mercer’s private equity purchasing collective, overseeing portfolio management, due diligence, and benefits optimization for diverse portfolio companies. Earlier in his career, he served as a broker in the regional market, helping employers design cost-effective, high-impact programs that balanced workforce needs with business objectives.
This breadth of experience — spanning startup innovation, global consulting rigor, and hands-on brokerage insight — gives Rosenblum an uncommon perspective on how to bring fresh thinking to a market in need of clarity and change.
“I’m energized by the wave of innovation and emerging solutions transforming our industry, changing how we work, enhancing how we advise, and expanding the solutions available to employers,” said Rosenblum. “The challenge, and the opportunity, is to bring clarity and simplicity to complex topics so decision-makers can move forward with confidence. I’m inspired by Symphony’s vision and commitment to be the next-generation benefits consulting advisory firm.”
With Rosenblum’s leadership, Symphony Consulting will sharpen its focus delivering tailored benefits and total rewards strategies that help employers attract, retain, and care for their people — while navigating an increasingly complex benefits landscape.
