Global investment management firm Nuveen is strengthening its UK insurance offering with the appointment of Kyrylo Sukhanenko as Managing Director, Head of UK Insurance.
In his new role, based in London, Sukhanenko will be responsible for further developing Nuveen’s UK insurance client segment, playing a pivotal role in the firm’s product development, client and marketing strategy.
He will report into Brian Schaper, Managing Director, Business Development – Global Client Group, who commented: “This appointment is testament to Nuveen’s continued commitment to providing solutions that meet the complex portfolio needs of our expanding insurance client base.
“Kyrylo’s wealth of expertise in the UK insurance asset management sector will be invaluable in servicing our new and existing insurance clients.”
Sukhanenko has extensive experience in employing a broad suite of asset classes and investment solutions to a range of insurers.
He joins Nuveen following 13 years at Blackrock, where he has held a number of positions. Most recently, he was Co-Head of Business Development for the company’s UK insurance business, structuring and delivering investment and risk solutions to insurers.
Prior to this, he worked as an Analyst within Merrill Lynch’s Emerging Market Equity sales team.
“Nuveen’s proposition as essentially both an asset owner, via its parent company TIAA, and asset manager means it is extremely well-positioned to provide the creative and compelling investment solutions UK insurers need to navigate the increasingly challenging macroeconomic and regulatory environment,” said Sukhanenko.
