Alliant Insurance Services Expands Transportation Platform

Texas – Alliant Insurance Services has significantly expanded its presence in the transportation sector across the United States through a series of strategic acquisitions and senior-level hires. This initiative aims to bolster the company’s capabilities in cross-border transportation risk management, particularly in South Texas, a pivotal region for international trade.

The company has acquired the Texas Insurance Agency located in Laredo. This agency is recognized for its specialization in providing risk management and insurance solutions tailored for cross-border trucking operations. Additionally, Alliant has acquired McAfee Insurance Agency in Mabank, which offers various insurance services throughout East Texas.

This expansion is in alignment with Alliant Transportation’s ongoing strategy to enhance its footprint in the Texas market, which is crucial for cross-border transportation risk management. The integrated approach involves leveraging technology-based solutions with risk management practices to cultivate improved outcomes within these complex markets.

New Talent Acquisition

In conjunction with its expansion efforts, Alliant has made key senior-level hires to strengthen its Texas operations. Nader Dabboussi has been appointed in Dallas, bringing over 20 years of risk management experience specifically in the cross-border public transportation sector. Meanwhile, Jordan Lewis joins the McAllen office, bringing expertise in comprehensive insurance and risk solutions targeted at trucking and transportation companies. Both Dabboussi and Lewis are committed to utilizing telematics, analytics, and technology platforms to enhance their clients’ risk profiles through data-driven strategies.

Strategic Growth Initiatives

Michael Cusack, who serves as the executive vice president of Alliant Specialty, commented on the significance of the new offices and hires. This growth strategy is vital for Alliant, as it seeks to empower businesses throughout the transportation supply chain with customized insurance solutions. The establishment of office locations and the recruitment of experienced professionals solidify Alliant’s direction in enhancing transportation risk management services.

Lisa Paul, the executive vice president of Alliant Transportation, has highlighted the company’s role as a strategic partner, particularly in addressing the complexities of international brokering and insurance solutions. This emphasis on strategic partnerships underscores Alliant’s dedication to supporting clients with tailored solutions designed to meet their specific needs.

Additional Appointments

In addition to the transportation-focused acquisitions and hires, Alliant has also made notable appointments within its Employee Benefits Group. Earlier this month, Mark Koontz was designated as the executive vice president and national director of voluntary benefits, bringing over three decades of expertise in the field and will operate out of Chicago. Furthermore, Kevin O’Donnell has been brought on as a vice president in the same group, where he will work with large employers and complex plan designs from his base in New York.

Conclusion

This comprehensive expansion of Alliant Insurance Services into the Texas transportation market not only signifies its growth trajectory but also its robust commitment to enhancing risk management solutions for businesses operating across borders. With the integration of experienced staff and strategic acquisitions, Alliant is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of its clients in a complex and challenging market.
