Ken Patton has retired as president of Mercer Capital, and senior vice president Matthew R. Crow, the 15-year veteran of Mercer, has stepped into the position. Patton was a co-owner of Mercer having started with the firm in 1984 just two years after CEO Christopher Mercer founded the company. He served as president since the late 1980s.

Chris is staying on as CEO and has no immediate plans to retire, according to a quote in the local Memphis Business Journal. “I’m here and enjoying it,” he said. Glad to hear it!
