Ascensus Names New Divisional Vice President to Retirement Sales Team
Dresher, PA—Ascensus announced today that Stephen Carrera will be assuming the role of West Divisional Vice President for the Retirement Sales team. He will report to Anthony Bolgona, National Sales director.
Carrera recently joined Ascensus in March of this year and played a key role in nurturing growth for Ascensus’ Mid-Atlantic region, covering Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC—areas in which he is already well-acquainted from previous roles.
“I’m always excited when we can promote from within—it recognizes both the talent and leadership strength already inherent in our organization,” said Bologna. “Since joining the team earlier this year, Steve has not only fully embodied our Core Values, but also championed our high-performing work culture that balances both personal and professional achievement. I’m confident in his leadership abilities and can’t wait to see what the West division will do from here to further build relationships and drive strong sales results.”
Before his time at Ascensus, Carrera had more than 20 years of background in sales and leadership roles at Nationwide Retirement Services, Mass Mutual Retirement Services, and ADP Retirement Services. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
