Dan Hickey Jr. has over 30 years of extensive experience across the property and casualty insurance industry. He is the founding partner and CEO of Roosevelt Road Capital Partners (RRCP), a global insurance organization that wholly owns Tradesman Program Managers USA MGA, K&B Specialty Insurance, Renaissance Specialty Insurance, and Roosevelt Road Re, a dedicated MGU and Class 3B Bermuda-reinsurance company.
Under his leadership, RRCP has grown premiums in excess of $1.3 billion, establishing itself as an industry leader in delivering best-in-class claims and loss control services to the construction market, real estate, sports, leisure and entertainment, and senior and assisted living sectors — all with exceptional underwriting results.
Mr. Hickey served as chairman and CEO of Majestic Holdings, LLC and led the company to a successful public offering in 2005. He succeeded in turning Majestic Insurance Company, a B++ company, into an A- “AM Best”-rated company and grew premiums from $50 million to more than $150 million and expanded the business into four states.
In 2016, with a visionary approach, recognizing and seizing the opportunity created by the dislocation in the New York construction market, Mr. Hickey founded Tradesman Program Managers (TPM) – a managing general agent specializing in contractors’ commercial general liability.
Staffed by experts who specialize in detecting and prosecuting fraud, TPM launched a deep investigation in 2021 into fraudulent claims in the greater New York construction market uncovering a troubling pattern: staged accidents, undocumented workers filing multiple claims and suspiciously identical injury reports, all linked to coordinated efforts by plaintiff attorneys and medical providers. The initiative led to widespread legal action against predatory practices, which attracted attention from insurers around the country and from national media outlets such as the New York Post, ABC News, and Inside Edition.
Mr. Hickey’s strategic insight and leadership have positioned him as a trusted authority within the industry. With a comprehensive understanding of the insurance model from top to bottom, Mr. Hickey possesses a rare ability to integrate and align key business disciplines, building and executing effective corporate strategies with precision and foresight.
Mr. Hickey’s influence extends beyond business; he has an exemplary philanthropic record. He is a proud youth football coach and, for more than four decades, has hosted the Eileen Hickey Holiday Dinner on Thanksgiving and Christmas serving more than 1,500 people each holiday.
Mr. Hickey received his B.A. in Business Administration from Northeastern University where he graduated cum laude.
