Javier also serves as the company’s Chief Revenue Officer. Currently celebrating his 19^th year anniversary in 2024, he oversees the entire sales process for the retail, wholesale, and specialty divisions of the company. During his tenure with the company, he has been responsible for an annual growth rate of more than 20 % annually, including during the chaos of COVID19. He expanded the markets and staff to include a wholesale, cannabis, specialty, and small business select units. Under his tenure, annual sales have grown from less than $10M to over $75M.  Primarily having focused on management, professional and cyber lines, Javier was personally responsible for developing the company’s transactional Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) lines of business which currently accounts for 10% of the company’s revenue.

Upon graduating from Fordham University in 2005, where he played scholarship football, Javier came in on the ground floor of the company having only four employees and has held many jobs in the company since, supporting its rapid growth to over fifty employees. In 2010, Javier was promoted to Sales Manager where he oversaw developing new sales staff, implementing sales and marketing strategies, carrier relations and marketing. Recognizing his value, he was offered a partnership and promoted to Executive Vice President in 2012, a position he has held since then. In 2013, he was selected by Business Insurance as a "40 under 40". This prestigious award is given only to those outstanding industry professionals nominated by their peers. He has served on the Professional Liability Underwriting Society’s national education committee and various other industry group and is a frequent speaker at many industry events.

In addition to his responsibilities as a partner and manager, Javier continues to produce new business and is most frequently the top producer despite managing a sales staff of over 10 producers. In 2023, he secured the largest deal in the 25 years of the companies’ history as a producer.

Having close to 20 years’ experience on both the retail and wholesale sides of the business has positioned Javier to consistently provide solutions for complex and hard-to-place risks and understand the insureds’ needs. Countless numbers of executives have been grateful to have Javier providing them with insurance solutions they had failed to obtain from other brokers throughout the years.
