Lifestyle Article - Hymans Robertson announce two new appointments


Hymans Robertson has welcomed two new hires to the firm’s Birmingham office, further growing the expertise of the Buy-out and wind-up transition services team within the firm. Donna Prince and Nafisha Chowdhury join the leading pensions and financial services consultancy at a time when 2024 buy-in and buy-out volumes have reached record highs.

 Donna joins Hymans Robertson with nearly 20 years of experience, including 14-years at Aon where she was an Associate Partner. She has been a Scheme Actuary since 2015 supporting Trustees through a number of exercises including end-game strategy, scheme mergers and wind-up as well as funding and risk management. During her time at Aon, Donna was also a senior member of the firm’s buyout and wind-up team, and member options and support team.

 Prior to joining Hymans Robertson, Nafisha was a Project Manager at Mercer, and brings further experience from her time at Willis Towers Watson, Aon, and the West Midlands Police. Nafisha has built a wealth of expertise leading on various projects such as GMPE, buy-ins and buy-out, and data cleanse projects.
 
 Commenting on what Donna and Nafisha will bring to the team, Christine Cumming, Head of Buy-out and wind-up transition services at Hymans Robertson said: “As the volume of schemes being able to afford buy-out continues to rapidly increase it’s crucial that our team is up to the various challenges we meet as we navigate DB pensions schemes through the process and to prepare for and subsequently wind-up their schemes. I have every confidence that Donna and Nafisha will be strong additions team. I look forward to working alongside them and learning from their varied experience in this space.”

 Commenting on her new role, Donna added: “I’m excited to be taking the next step in my career as I join Hymans Robertson. It’s an exciting time to be working with Trustees and Sponsors as they consider their endgame strategy, and to support them through the final stages of a DB Scheme’s life from initial strategy setting to ultimate buyout and wind-up. I look forward to deploying my years of experience in Hymans Robertson's buy-out and wind-up transition services team to deliver the best possible outcomes for trustees, sponsors and the members of the schemes overseen by the firm.”
 
 Commenting on her new appointment, Nafisha says: “I’m thrilled to be able to share my experience within the buy-out and wind-up transition services team at Hymans Robertson. I look forward to being part of an enthusiastic and knowledgeable group of experts whose focus is on delivering good outcomes for trustees, sponsors and their members.”
