Diana is a seasoned headhunter who specializes in all levels of underwriting, claims, and brokerage recruiting. You won’t find a more qualified—or merry—recruiter out there. She can find a needle in a haystack given the right tools and access, making her an invaluable asset in today’s competitive hiring market. After more than thirty years of headhunting, Diana excels at thinking outside the box to ensure her clients get the outcome they’re looking for. In fact, she often feels like an investor in her clients’ business, devoted to finding a solution. Many of the candidates she has placed in the course of her career are now the executives of brokers and carriers.
After years of working side by side with them, she can’t help but think that insurance workers are the salt of the earth. Be it claims, underwriting, loss control, or sales, they a have one thing in common: they genuinely want to help their customer, it is in their DNA.
Outside of her work at Martin Grant, Diana is also a founding member of the Pinnacle Society, an elite group of leading recruiters who have the heart and love for the industries they are in. She also spends her free time riding a motorcycle with a group of 90 women, all over the age of 50. The group is committed to fundraising for small charities with a mission to help women and children that often lack national support.

As Martin Grant’s head of the Employee Benefits and Financial Services divisions, Juliet is accomplished in recruiting for all levels of niche insurance specialties. She rises to meet the challenge of her clients’ difficult to fill job openings with zeal and encourages passive candidates to enter the hiring market and take interviews with her client companies. Juliet holds a reputation of placing the right candidate with the right role, which has earned her the trust of both candidates and employers in the employee benefits, property & casualty, and financial sectors.
Not only has Juliet succeeded in building her division from the ground up in the last 24 years, expanding to a national practice just ten years ago, she has also nurtured the talents of other recruiters on the team. Her own achievements are heightened by her delight in mentoring and witnessing the success of three other talented women. She is grateful to Martin Grant for teaching her successful recruiting and giving her the rare opportunity to build strong relationships in the insurance and financial services industry.
When she isn’t connecting with clients or insurance professionals, Juliet is enjoying outdoor adventures in Maine—everything from skiing to hiking, biking, running, boating, and beyond! She loves traveling and exploring new places with her family and this year’s adventures will take them to SoCal, VA/DC, St. John, Mohegan Island, and Yellowstone National Park. Next year, who knows!

Joshann works exclusively in property & casualty insurance recruiting, alongside her colleague, Diana Gazzolo. She is driven to find top talent and leverage their experience to shape new and exciting opportunities on an individually tailored level. Both her professional training as a Clinical Social Worker and her experience working abroad across cultures and organizations defines her unique skillset and approach to developing healthy relationships with both clients and candidates. This recipe greatly enhances her ability to team up with Martin Grant’s clients and find them the best candidates for long lasting and mutually beneficial partnerships.
As the most recent addition to the MGA Team, Joshann continues to master her role, taking to heart Martin Grant’s rejection of the “one size fits all” recruiting approach. Already, she takes great pride in working with like-minded individuals who are truly passionate about the recruiting services we provide and why. She enjoys getting to know candidates beyond their resume and ensuring that both the short and long terms goals of both parties are met.
Joshann’s greatest pride and joy is her family: her husband and three children. Together they enjoy a very active lifestyle. Living and experiencing life through her children’s eyes recharges Joshann’s batteries and always keeps her focused on what truly matters in life.
