Alliant has hired NY-based property and casualty insurance expert Francis Rossi to serve in the role of vice-president.

Rossi joins Alliant from Rossi Capital Partners, a finance company in New York which he founded and served as president and CEO. Prior to this, he held the position of president of insurance brokerage with a “leading” private equity firm in New York. He has worked with several of the largest global investment banking firms, insurance agencies, and carriers over the span of his more than 30-year career.

He earned his MBA from New York University’s Stern School of Business and his bachelor’s degree in economics from Yale University.

“As a longtime veteran in the insurance world, Frank brings a unique perspective to our New York team,” said Alliant executive vice-president and senior managing director Bob Bennetsen.

Bennetsen added that Rossi’s “depth of insurance expertise and acute financial acumen” would allow him to offer targeted risk and insurance solutions to clients with regional, national, and global operations.
