Myinsuranceexpert.com to Relocate, Triple Workforce

Web-based life insurance brokerage firm Myinsuranceexpert.com plans to move its offices to Detroit by the end of 2011 and more than triple its staff in the next several months by hiring an additional 200 employees.

The news of expansion comes on the heels of receiving a significant investment from Rockbridge Growth Equity LLC, a private equity firm based in Detroit.

"Beyond simply raising capital, it was imperative for us to find the right strategic partner for our business. We've done that through this relationship with Rockbridge Growth Equity," said MyInsuranceExpert.com CEO Lorne Zalesin. "As a Web-based, culture-driven company, we are extremely fortunate to now be partnered with an extraordinary family of companies that includes Quicken Loans, Detroit Venture Partners, ePrize and One on One Marketing, to name a few. We are looking forward to an exciting collaboration and are eager to be counted among the new wave of Web-based businesses that are making Detroit their home."

Myinsuranceexpert.com facilitates the process of finding and purchasing life insurance from top nationwide insurers. The company was named one of Michigan’s 50 “companies to watch” in 2011.
