DRESHER, PA — Ascensus said Rob Percival has been appointed head of ABLE Solutions, placing a longtime financial services executive in charge of strategy and execution for a business line poised for expansion under recent federal law changes.
Percival will report to Peg Creonte, president of government savings, and will lead Ascensus’ ABLE strategy as demand grows following the “age of onset” expansion included in the SECURE 2.0 legislation. The provision broadens eligibility for Achieving a Better Life Experience accounts, a change widely expected to accelerate adoption and participation.
Ascensus currently administers ABLE plans in 22 states and the District of Columbia, making it one of the largest providers in the market. The company said Percival will work closely with product, relationship management, operations, and business development teams to align offerings with evolving client and participant needs.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Rob back to the Ascensus team,” Creonte said, citing his industry experience and familiarity with the firm’s operating model. She said his leadership will support continued innovation in ABLE program design and help expand access for eligible individuals and families.
Percival brings more than 25 years of experience in financial services, including a decade previously spent at Ascensus. He rejoins the company from Orion, where he served as senior vice president of strategic relationships.
He holds a master of business administration degree from the University of Chicago and a bachelor’s degree in economics from Stonehill College.
Ascensus said the appointment reflects its focus on scaling ABLE capabilities as regulatory changes reshape the market and increase the need for accessible, specialized savings solutions for people with disabilities and their families.
