Jim Maietta
Chief Distribution Officer
Jim draws on over 25 years of financial services sales, management, and wholesaling experience to help Registered Investment Advisors drive revenue by servicing and supporting the risk management side of their advisory business. Jim's experience in the securities and insurance industries afford him a deeper understanding of a producer's overall business model – knowledge he leverages today to help advisors identify insurance solutions that make sense for their clients. Beginning his career as an insurance agent and registered representative for Pruco Securities, Jim's talent and leadership abilities were quickly recognized. He was promoted to Branch Manager and, later, Field Director, where his success recruiting and developing financial professionals led his team to earn multiple President's Citation awards. He also earned the GAMA Award for career development. Following Pruco, Jim joined Allianz, where he held several sales leadership positions, including SVP and District Director of Sales. He also led Distribution Relationship Management, where he successfully developed and enhanced broker-dealer relationships. Jim holds his Series 7, 26, 63, and 65 registrations and currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the National Association for Fixed Annuities.
