Intellica has acquired Cosan Consulting for an undisclosed amount.

The acquisition will bring together Intellica's data and platform solutions with Cosan's strategic consulting, and is expected to help the combined organisation to deliver smarter, faster and more integrated solutions to clients across the pensions industry.

The combined organisation will retain its independent ethos, however, as the two businesses will retain their existing operating models, gradually increasing collaboration on client work, shared resources, and innovation projects.

Cosan’s leadership team, including Philip Dickinson, Ian Bloxham, Emma Page and Mark Webster will remain in place and continue to lead their people and projects as part of the combined group.

Clients will experience no disruption to service, and all existing relationships and in-flight projects are expected to continue as planned.

Commenting on the acquisition, Intellica CEO, Brendan Doherty, said: “This isn’t just about bringing two businesses together - it’s about reshaping how our industry delivers value.

“By combining Intellica’s strength in data, digital tools, and implementation with Cosan’s deep expertise in strategic pensions consulting, we’re creating a proposition that’s broader, faster, and more insightful.

"Together, we’re addressing some of the biggest challenges pension schemes face - from administration transitions and provider reviews to journey planning and buyout and doing it with smarter technology and sharper thinking.

"Cosan’s team shares our culture of independence, ambition, and client-first thinking, making this a truly aligned partnership that sets us up for long-term success.”

Adding to this, Dickinson said: “This acquisition allows us to do more of what we’re great at.

"We’ve built a team we’re proud of, and joining Intellica means access to the infrastructure and investment that helps us scale without compromising on independence, culture, or the high standards our clients expect.”
