LONDON, March 26, 2026 – WTW’s Investments business has appointed Sophia Sednaoui as a Senior Director in its GB Wealth & Retail Investments team, effective from March 2026. Sophia joins WTW at a pivotal time as the firm accelerates the growth of its UK Wealth business and reinforces its commitment to broadening access to institutional grade investment expertise across the sector.

Sophia brings nearly a decade of experience across leading investment management firms in the UK Wealth market.

She will be responsible for developing new relationships across the sector and assisting WTW in connecting its extensive capabilities with a wider range of firms and investors. Her appointment supports WTW’s strategic ambition to scale its dedicated GB Wealth and Retail investments offering, further strengthening the firm’s position as a leading and recognisable partner to firms in this space.
