Marsh McLennan Agency to Buy Health and Benefits Broker TriBridge Partners

Marsh McLennan Agency (MMA) announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire TriBridge Partners, an independent benefits broker and retirement and wealth advisor headquartered in Columbia, Maryland.

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

TriBridge Partners was founded in 2013 upon the strategic merger between three regional brokerage and advisory firms serving the Mid-Atlantic.

According to the agreement, all employees, including co-founders and co-owners Heath Hykes, chief executive officer; Dane Rianhard, founding principal; John Morris, principal; and Paul Younkins, chief growth officer, will join MMA and continue to operate out of the firm’s existing Columbia office location.

John Stanchina, CEO of MMA’s Mid-Atlantic region, said TriBridge’s expertise will complement MMA’s strong property/casualty practice in the Mid-Atlantic and strengthen MMA’s “holistic advisory capabilities.”

The deal is expected to close within the second quarter of 2026.

MMA is a business of Marsh.
