Alliant Insurance Services has launched a national commercial surety platform while also adding a key hire to its employee benefits group.
Launching its commercial surety practice, the contract surety broker picked Houston-based Alliant Specialty senior vice president Orlando Aguirre (pictured) to lead the operation.
Michael Cusack, executive vice president at Alliant Specialty, noted: “Orlando has demonstrated exceptional leadership within our energy & marine surety business, displaying the energy and vision needed to establish Alliant’s presence in the commercial surety arena.
“Alliant is dominant in the contract surety space. Formalizing our commercial surety practice will further the specialized expertise we offer clients through creative and bespoke solutions that address growing risk complexities across all industries.”
In addition to the introduction of Alliant Commercial Surety, the wider business also appointed Brad Heter as vice president and producer for the Midwest within its employee benefits operation.
Kevin Overbey, president of Alliant Employee Benefits, commented: “Brad’s deep experience in benefits strategy will be a tremendous asset to our team as we continue to deliver innovative solutions to our clients.
“His ability to tailor benefits offerings that resonate with employees perfectly aligns with our commitment to helping organizations thrive by attracting and retaining top talent.”
Heter brings more than two decades of experience as an employee benefits advisor to the group.
Cusack said recently: “Mark’s extensive experience, proven leadership, enthusiasm for the business, and deep industry knowledge will be instrumental in advancing our private equity and M&A vertical… Peter has an unparalleled depth of experience as an insurance executive, working with private equity and M&A clients for decades.”
