Finding the Win With Jill Roth 

• September 10, 2025

On this episode of Agency Nation Radio, we chat with Jill Roth, executive vice president at Ahart, Frinzi & Smith in Alexandria, Virginia.  

Roth started her career on Capitol Hill, working in legislative affairs for a New Jersey congressional representative, where one of the issues she focused on was the insurance industry.  Her congressional experience carried over when she joined the family agency—Ahart, Frinzi & Smith—and repurposed her passion for politics into serving Big “I” members on the state and national level.   

“I still have a passion in [legislative] affairs,” Roth says. “And so I now take that knowledge that I had in that industry, whether it be working on the congressional side or in the lobbying world, and I’ll use that in my insurance world.”
