Alliant Specialty executive vice president Michael Cusack said: “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. Formalising our commercial surety practice will further the specialised expertise we offer clients through creative and bespoke solutions that address growing risk complexities across all industries.”

Alliant’s growth has also been marked by a series of acquisitions, including the purchase of Advanced Benefits, an Idaho-based employee benefits consultancy, and Vinsa Insurance Associates, a property and casualty insurance agency with a focus on public entity organisations.

Additionally, Alliant acquired Property Owners Protection Insurance Company, a captive programme manager serving the residential real estate sector, earlier this year.
