Vice President, Commercial P&C Insurance

About the CompanyNeil Jesani Advisors is a multidisciplinary advisory firm serving over 1,000 ultra-high-net-worth clients across tax planning, tax controversy, trust & estate and asset protection legal structuring, wealth management, and business advisory. Our clients are concentrated in California, Metro New York, and South Florida — with a Fort Lauderdale headquarters serving as the operational hub.Behind nearly every UHNW client is a business — an operating company, a real estate portfolio, a private equity holding, or a family enterprise. We are building a commercial insurance practice to serve those businesses the same way we serve the individuals who own them: as trusted advisors, not vendors. Alongside our UHNW advisory practice, we operate a dedicated mid-market tax and accounting practice serving companies with $50M–$500M in revenue — a natural and immediate source of commercial P&C clients for the right person.About the RoleWe are looking for an experienced commercial P&C leader to build and run NJA's commercial lines practice.
