Joe Aszknazy

President &a; CEO Joe Aszknazy draws on 35+ years of insurance experience to execute the firm’s strategic direction and ongoing operations. Adept at analyzing the unique and intricate needs and risks across multiple industries, he applies his extensive knowledge and experience to every risk. His foray into the world of insurance began in the early 1980s, while working as a controller in what was then a leading real estate development company. There, he oversaw a team of over 200 employees and 60+ concurrent, full-scale construction projects. Interested in creating an in-house insurance department, the company sent Joe to an accelerated training program at the Aetna Insurance home office in Hartford, Connecticut. By the mid-80s, Joe had managed several insurance agencies and in 1995 he established Cortland Insurance. The rest, as they say, is history.
