NASHVILLE, Tenn., — William Denbo, president of Commercial Insurance Associates, was named a Platinum Broker, part of Insurance Business America’s List of Top Retail Brokers of 2024.

“While I’m delighted to be named, this is an honor not just for me, but for everyone at CIA,” says Denbo. “Being named a Platinum level broker would not be possible without their dedication and support.”

The more than 60 recipients recognized had to satisfy a series of criteria: at least $1 million in premium revenue in 2023; at least 50 percent commercial P&C business, and demonstrated year-over-year growth from 2022, according to Insurance Business America. Platinum Broker status was conferred on those who had exceeded $4 million in 2023 revenue.

Half of the recipients have been in the insurance business for 11-20 years. Denbo just marked 16 years in the business – the last 18 months as CIA president. A majority of the group, or 57%, operate in all 50 states, as does CIA.
