Team

Cartesia’s success is based on passion and innovation. It all started in 2006, when  we founded our consulting firm because we felt the market lacked focus, or rather, it was focused on the wrong things. Thanks to our pension expertise, developed through years of experience in the industry, we are able to offer our clients high quality services that they actually need. Our commitment to transparency and integrity define who we are, and are at the heart of every recommendation we make.
