Before joining IA Capital, Bob Sollmann spent his career running MetLife's annuities and retirement businesses and building its voluntary benefits franchise, leading roughly $30 billion in acquisitions and focusing on practical ideas like giving retirees reliable income instead of chasing the highest possible returns, cutting out unnecessary complexity in insurance products, and helping employees build real financial skills through better design and personalized tools. That background carries into his work today as a director of Retirable, reflecting a focus on retirement and aging-related finance rather than general startup investing.
