Rosenberg & Parker Taps Veteran CFO to Steer Major Growth Phase

WAYNE, PA – February 02, 2026 – In a strategic move signaling a commitment to disciplined expansion, Rosenberg & Parker, the world's largest independent surety-only brokerage, has appointed Michael R. Bogansky as its new Chief Financial Officer. The appointment comes as the firm navigates a period of what it calls “exceptional growth” and positions itself for future dominance in the specialized surety market.

Bogansky steps into the role succeeding Cindy Walsh, who is set to retire later this year after more than a decade as the firm's financial steward. Walsh will remain with the company to ensure a seamless transition, passing the torch of a financial department that has supported Rosenberg & Parker through years of steady advancement.

A New Financial Architect for an Era of Expansion

The timing of Bogansky's arrival is pivotal. Rosenberg & Parker has been vocal about its recent success, attributing its growth to a market that increasingly values its specialized, surety-as-a-capital-solution approach. This focus has allowed the firm to carve out a distinct identity in a financial services landscape often dominated by generalist insurance brokers.

"R&P continues to experience exceptional growth as our clients and prospects recognize the value of working with an advisor that uses surety as a capital solution to create differentiated outcomes relative to our competitors," said Jack Rosenberg, President of Rosenberg & Parker. He emphasized that the firm is actively moving towards its vision of becoming "the most respected specialty broker in the world."

Bringing in a CFO with Bogansky's caliber is a direct reflection of this ambition. As a company scales, the complexity of its financial operations, risk management, and strategic planning grows exponentially. Rosenberg believes Bogansky is the key to navigating this complexity. "As we continue towards our vision... Mike's experience, financial expertise, and operational mindset will strengthen R&P and help to ensure that we continue to grow with discipline and integrity," Rosenberg stated.

The Strategic CFO's Blueprint

Michael Bogansky is not a typical financial executive; he is a seasoned specialist in building and refining the very architecture of financial departments. His career spans decades and includes critical leadership roles in both public and private companies, giving him a unique perspective on the demands of different corporate structures and growth stages.

Most recently, Bogansky served as CFO at Cartiga, a tech-driven alternative asset investor in the legal finance space. Before that, he was the CFO at Marlin Capital Solutions (now PEAC Solutions), where he was instrumental in managing the financial operations of the publicly traded small business lender. His tenure at Marlin was marked by significant improvements to financial reporting, capital markets functions, and the implementation of a rigorous expense management framework—skills directly applicable to a growing Rosenberg & Parker.

His extensive experience at PHH Corporation, where he rose through the ranks over 15 years to become CFO, showcases his deep expertise in controller functions, financial reporting, and accounting policy. This foundation, built upon early career experience at public accounting giants Deloitte and Ernst & Young, has solidified his reputation as a "proven disciplined financial operator and builder of rigorous, effective financial systems," according to the firm.

Navigating a Dynamic Surety Market

Bogansky's appointment is not just an internal strategic move; it is also a response to the external dynamics of the global surety market. The industry is currently at a crossroads, presented with both immense opportunities and significant challenges. A global push for infrastructure development and a resilient construction sector are driving unprecedented demand for surety bonds. However, this demand is tempered by economic headwinds, including persistent inflation, volatile interest rates, and ongoing supply chain disruptions that increase contractor and project risk.

In this environment, specialization becomes a critical advantage. Rosenberg & Parker's 80-year-old 'surety-only' model allows it to offer a level of expertise that larger, more generalized competitors may struggle to match. The firm's deep understanding of surety helps clients navigate complex project risks and use surety bonds not just as a requirement, but as a strategic financial tool.

The addition of a CFO like Bogansky, with his expertise in Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) frameworks and strategic operational planning, is designed to further sharpen this competitive edge. His role will be crucial in ensuring that as Rosenberg & Parker grows, its internal financial systems and risk controls are robust enough to withstand market volatility and support its clients' needs effectively.

A Legacy of Specialization and a Look Forward

Founded in 1944 on the pillars of Expertise, Innovation, Integrity, and Service, Rosenberg & Parker has built a legacy on being a master of one trade rather than a jack of all. This singular focus is the bedrock of its reputation. The transition from Cindy Walsh's successful decade-long tenure to Bogansky's leadership is poised to be a continuation of this legacy, albeit with a renewed focus on scaling and modernization.

Bogansky himself recognizes the unique position the firm occupies and the opportunity ahead. "I am extremely excited to join Rosenberg & Parker at such a pivotal moment in its growth trajectory," he commented on his new role. He noted the firm's "longstanding tradition of excellence" and its "exceptional reputation in the surety market."

Looking ahead, Bogansky's objective is clear. He plans to partner with the leadership team to build on the company's success and steer its expansion. "I look forward to partnering with Jack and the broader leadership team to continue scaling the organization and building on that success through disciplined, profitable expansion," he said. For Rosenberg & Parker and its clients, this new chapter promises to blend its historic expertise with the sophisticated financial stewardship required to lead in the modern era.
