US-based insurance agency ALKEME has appointed Jesse Dantice as president of the East Region.  

With more than 27 years of experience, Dantice will oversee the company’s operations and growth initiatives in the eastern US.  

ALKEME Insurance CEO Curtis Barton said: “We are thrilled to welcome Jesse Dantice to the ALKEME team. His visionary leadership and deep understanding of the insurance landscape make him an ideal choice to lead our East Region. Jesse’ ability to innovate and drive growth will be instrumental as we continue expanding our footprint and delivering value to our clients and partners.” 

Dantice stated: “I am honoured to join such a forward-thinking organisation. ALKEME’s commitment to innovation and excellence resonates deeply with my own values. I look forward to working with this talented team to build on ALKEME’s success and lead the charge in transforming the insurance experience for businesses across the East Region.” 

This move follows the ALKEME partnership with Zenjuries, a technology-driven claims solution provider, in December 2024, facilitating streamlined and transparent claims handling for businesses within ALKEME’s network.  

Simultaneously, Don Esparza has been appointed as president of the South/Southwest Region.  

Esparza’s responsibilities will include leading strategic initiatives to strengthen ALKEME’s presence and expand its market share in the southern and south-western US.  

Set up in 2020, ALKEME has completed more than 40 acquisitions and serves in more than 35 locations in 16 states to date.
