Cardano has appointed Jonathan Repp as director and Sonia Sandhu and Jacob Wooderson as analysts to expand its risk solutions team.
Repp joins Cardano from EY, where he worked for over six years advising trustees and corporations on buy-in, buyout, and superfund transactions. He spearheaded EY’s advice on superfund and capital-backed funding solutions and has extensive experience advising clients on pension financing, accounting, liability, and risk concerns. Repp also spent more than 15 years with Mercer before joining EY.
Sandhu has experience as an actuarial consultant and technology implementation specialist with Mercer and HowNow. Wooderson has previously worked as a BPA price analyst at Standard Life and a trustee consultant at Willis Towers.
Cardano managing director and head of risk solutions Adolfo Aponte says: “We’re delighted to welcome Jonathan, Sonia and Jacob to Cardano at a time when pension funds are upgrading their end-game strategies to reflect improved funding levels.
“Trustees and sponsors have never had as many risk transfer and run-on strategies to choose from. We expect this trend to continue with the new Government pointing to further innovation to support the UK’s growth ambitions.
“The expansion of the Risk Solution team reflects the growing opportunity we see in a market that needs to combine broad-based strategic insight with specialist execution and use of technology across all stages of a risk transfer project, including data analytics, brokering and post buy-in support. Jonathan, Sonia and Jacob will support our push to deliver better outcomes for scheme members and sponsors.”
