Industry veteran to drive strategic growth, expand client advisory services and strengthen contract and commercial surety capabilities

EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants (“EPIC”), a national insurance brokerage and consulting firm providing specialized services across select industries and client sectors, today announced the appointment of Monica Donatelli as National Surety Practice Development Leader. In this role, Donatelli will develop practice strategy, client service delivery and the expansion of the firm’s surety capabilities across the United States.

Donatelli brings more than 16 years of experience in construction and commercial surety, advising a broad range of clients including, contractors, developers, investor-backed platforms and financial institutions. She was recently elected as President of the National Association of Surety Bond Producers (NASBP), and will lead initiatives that educate federal, state and local officials about the value of surety. She also brings deep relationships across surety carriers, underwriters and industry partners, as well as a proven track record of building high-performing surety teams. At EPIC, she will focus on expanding access to market capacity and developing tailored bonding solutions for clients across industries including construction, customs and transportation, waste management, financial services, healthcare and energy.

“EPIC’s national platform has built a strong foundation for serving clients with bonding and risk management needs,” said Donatelli. “The firm’s commitment to thinking big, inspiring trust and delivering results for clients aligns closely with my own approach to leadership and service. I’m excited to build on existing momentum by helping grow the firm's surety practice, further strengthening its client-first approach and delivering specialized solutions for organizations that rely on surety bonding as a critical part of their business.”

Donatelli’s appointment follows EPIC’s recent acquisition of The Bond Exchange, which expanded the firm’s surety capabilities and augmented its ability to support clients across contract and commercial bonding needs. Together, these investments reflect EPIC’s commitment to growing its national surety practice and enhancing the resources, expertise and market access available to clients nationwide.

“Building a leading surety practice starts with attracting exceptional talent. Monica's addition further positions EPIC to serve organizations of all sizes as they navigate complex bonding challenges,” said Scott Davis, President of National Specialties. “Monica brings a strong combination of technical surety expertise, leadership experience and deep market relationships that will further enhance the capabilities of our national surety practice. Her industry leadership and commitment to developing high-performing teams will help us continue delivering outcomes for clients nationwide.”
