Reshma Dalia is the executive vice president and chief financial officer of Alliant Retail Property and Casualty. She is responsible for leading all financial and strategic growth initiatives across 12 industry verticals and four geographic regions across the US that encompass all of Alliant’s retail brokerage operations. Industries include construction, environmental, agriculture, public entity, energy and marine, real estate, healthcare, aviation, executive risk, financial institutions, mergers and acquisitions, and trade credit.
Reshma has over 20 years of industry experience, previously serving as global managing director of finance for Aon’s Construction Services Group.
Her expertise in the retail brokerage space spanning public and private corporations is recognized firm-wide and she is often tapped to assist in key strategic initiatives to support the company’s growth. Reshma’s unique perspective and background in finance allow Alliant to provide superior service and capabilities to clients while simultaneously experiencing greater financial and operational efficiency. In addition, this coordination of businesses enables Alliant to capture additional market share and greater leverage with the markets.
In January 2022, she was featured in The Wall Street Journal as a member of the newspaper’s CFO Network, an exclusive list of financial leaders from the world’s most influential companies. In February 2022, she was invited to join Chief, a private network designed for the most powerful women executives. In May 2021, she also became the executive sponsor of Alliant’s Asian American Pacific Islander Employee Resource Group.
“My diverse professional experiences and financial acumen allow me to take a holistic approach to strategic initiatives, so I am able to provide unique solutions to support the growth of our firm,” she says.
In 2012, she was recognized by Business Insurance as one of its Women to Watch. In December 2016, she was one of three female panelists to participate in a women’s leadership symposium hosted by Zurich in New York City. Reshma was selected by Emory University in 2019 for its 40 Under Forty alumni award, which recognizes multitalented and accomplished alumni every year.
Reshma prides herself in continuously developing the younger generations, recruiting diverse talent, and being an advocate and champion for women in the insurance industry. She is a mentor to many of her fellow women colleagues, building a team that is 70% female in a male-dominated industry.
“As leaders in the industry, the changes are up to us,” she says. “I believe the industry would greatly benefit from a more diverse talent base, so I am continuously working to recruit women and minorities into the business.”
Reshma earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from Emory University and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
