History
Founded in New York City by George B. Buck, Sr., as an actuarial firm in 1916, today the firm has more than 1,500 employees and affiliates in nearly 200 global locations.[2]
Buck remained an independent organization until 1997 when it was acquired by Mellon Financial.[3] The Buck Consultants brand name was scrapped in late 2003 when Mellon unified various business lines under the name Mellon Human Resource & Investor Solutions HR&IS).[4] Affiliated Computer Services acquired Mellon’s HR business in 2005[5] and reintroduced the Buck Consultants brand. In 2010, ACS was sold to Xerox for $6.4 billion. Buck Consultants was later rebranded as "Buck Consultants at Xerox".[6]
