Paul Bernardi has joined Cohen & Steers as Head of U.S. Wealth Sales, a newly created position. Mr. Bernardi reports to Mr. Ispass and will be responsible for leading the U.S. Wealth Sales Group consisting of Advisory Sales, Internal Sales, Retirement and Enterprise RIA Sales. Mr. Bernardi brings deep industry experience, most recently serving as Managing Director and Head of Intermediary at Voya Investment Management, where he spent nearly 25 years.
