<feed-paragraph><![CDATA[Gerald R. Longobardi is currently the Founding Partner of The Longobardi Group, a venture capital, tactical opportunities, and advisory firm; directed towards communications, technology, and insurance, based in Connecticut. Gerald has been instrumental in several successful seed round startups and subsequent exits in the communications and insurance sectors. His communications tower portfolio was ultimately acquired by a publicly traded wireless infrastructure company, Crown Castle International. Mr. Longobardi also completed a successful exit in a national insurance carrier, where his firm’s seed stage investment and advisory services at 40,000 lives under management in one state, prior to Mr. Longobardi’s involvement, eventually grew to over 4 million lives on a national footprint, upon exit of his interest in Liberty Dental Insurance Plan. In addition, he remains a limited partner in various commercial real estate projects. All of which have provided him with extensive specialty asset management knowledge and the ground up, hands-on experience required for complex situations.]]></feed-paragraph>
