Joseph Rallo

Joseph Rallo is a financial innovator and the co-founder of EF Hutton, a storied brokerage he relaunched in May 2020. Over two decades, he’s navigated deals worth more than $60 billion—think IPOs, mergers, and beyond—while shaping the careers of rising stars. His journey includes standout roles at Citizens JMP Securities, Maxim Group, and Aegis Capital, where he mastered thriving in high-stakes settings.

A former athlete who wore jersey number 7, Rallo channels that competitive spirit into leadership. His six-pillar philosophy—lead boldly, mentor generously, communicate clearly, set the bar high, delegate wisely, and plan smartly—guides his teams. Starting EF Hutton amid a pandemic, he saw possibility where others saw peril, using digital tools to spark success. With his wife, he supports causes in education, healthcare, and culture, serving on boards like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Keep a Child Alive. A Notre Dame alum, he’s rooted in New York.
