Renaissance Alliance promotes Bob Bondi as CEO

Renaissance Alliance, a membership network that serves independent property & casualty insurance agencies, has announced the promotion of Bob Bondi to CEO from his current role as President and COO, effective immediately. Bondi has also been appointed as a director of the company.

Outgoing CEO Kevin Callahan commented, "It has been an honor to lead Renaissance. I've had a professional relationship with Bob for over 30 years which gives me full confidence that our clients, insurance partners, and our team members have the best leader for the next phase of our journey."

Bondi and Callahan partnered with Long Arc Capital in 2018 to acquire Renaissance Alliance with the intention of transforming it into the country's premier insurance agency network. Bondi has been instrumental in refining the capabilities of the company's member services platform, driving expansion into the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, and integrating the recent acquisitions of Agency Network Exchange and United Valley. Prior to joining Renaissance, Bondi served as a senior executive at Confie, Affirmative Insurance, and Aon.

"I'm honored and excited to transition to the role of CEO at Renaissance," said Bondi. "As part of Renaissance's executive leadership team for the past four years, I've formed strong relationships with our agency members, carrier partners, and team members. I understand the challenges faced by independent agencies and am focused on helping our members financially thrive while maintaining their independence."

Bondi plans to build upon the momentum Renaissance has generated in recent years. The company has expanded significantly, having grown from 80 agency members across six states in 2018 to over 300 members in 13 states today. The company also holds close relationships with more than 90 carrier partners and brokers.
