“Joining Hub allows us to leverage the resources of one of the largest insurance brokers without compromising our boutique-firm roots,” Bonasera said. “We are extremely pleased with the opportunity for growth and to be a part of a company that shares our same culture and commitment to clients’ success.”

Summit’s leadership team and staff will join Hub and continue to operate out of Summit’s existing offices, according to a news release. They will report to Charles Brophy, president and CEO and regional president, Hub International US East.

“Summit has earned a great reputation in the retirement industry, and they give us a strong foundation and the credibility to grow our retirement-plan business,” said David Reich, national president of Hub Retirement Services.
