Ascensus Taps ABLE Solutions Head

Ascensus announced the appointment of Rob Percival as head of ABLE Solutions.

In this role, Percival will lead the strategy and execution for the company’s ABLE business, reporting to Peg Creonte, president of Government Savings. He brings more than 25 years of financial services experience to the position, including a decade spent at Ascensus.

Percival will collaborate with product, relationship management, operations, and business development teams to drive a consolidated strategy that supports client objectives. His appointment comes at a pivotal time for the ABLE market, which is expected to expand following the “Age of Onset” provision from the SECURE 2.0 legislation.

Ascensus administers ABLE plans across 22 states and the District of Columbia.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Rob back to the Ascensus team,” said Creonte. “His deep industry expertise and proven track record in driving results make him the ideal leader to guide our ABLE business through this period of growth and transformation. With Rob at the helm, we will continue to innovate ABLE program design and expand capabilities that make ABLE accounts more accessible and more impactful for the investors who benefit from them.”

Percival rejoins Ascensus from Orion, where he served as senior vice president of strategic relationships. He holds a master’s degree from the University of Chicago and a bachelor’s degree in economics from Stonehill College.
