The DART Group

Independence at the Core of Risk Control

For over 15 years, The DART Group has supported organizations in the control and management of insurable risks related to their assets. A trusted partner to insurers, brokers, and risk managers, we work with institutional, commercial, and industrial clients across Canada, supported by a network of contacts enabling service delivery throughout North America and Europe.

A Story of Expertise and Independence

DART Group was founded in 2011 by Alessandro Rinaldi, a risk control engineer with more than 35 years of experience. After working within a major international insurance company as a consulting engineer, Alessandro chose to establish an independent firm, driven by a strong conviction: to provide objective and defensible analyses that support informed decision-making.

In 2013, Alexandre Ritchot joined the venture. With 20 years of experience gained with a major insurer and later a brokerage firm, he subsequently became a partner at DART Group, actively contributing to its growth and strategic vision.

Consultants, Not Inspectors

At DART Group, we are consultants first and foremost. Our role goes far beyond identifying issues: we identify, quantify, and analyze risks before proposing concrete solutions tailored to our clients’ operational realities. Independence is more than a value — it is our reason for being.

• Independent by choice: Coming from the insurance industry, we deliberately chose full objectivity to ensure impartial, transparent assessments focused on your needs.
• Independent for our clients: Our mission is to empower you to act by providing a clear and defensible understanding of your risks, along with customized strategies to control them.
• Independent in our approach: We believe freedom fosters innovation. Our consultants operate in an autonomous and flexible environment, directly benefiting the quality of our services.
