XPS Group has expanded its risk settlement team with three new appointments.
Josué Silva joins from Just, Karine Reffreger from the Pension Protection Funds, and Alex Shepherd joins from WTW.
All have extensive experience and expertise in this area. The three new hires joined on 15 July and will focus on post-transaction projects, guiding clients through the transition from buy-in to buyout and wind-up. This comes after a significant increase in XPS-led buy-in transactions over the past 12 months.
XPS Group head of risk settlement Stephen Purves says: “These are excellent additions to our growing team, bringing diverse expertise to complement our already exceptional post-transaction team. Client demand for our services is growing rapidly, and they’ll play a vital role in supporting clients through post-transaction phases.”
XPS Group head of post-transactions Mel Stanford adds: “Over the last 18 months, we have invested heavily creating a market-leading post-transaction proposition, and the knowledge and skills Josué, Karine and Alex bring will further strengthen our offering.”
