NASHVILLE, Tenn., August 28, 2025 — Commercial Insurance Associates, one of the nation’s largest property and casualty insurance brokers, has added Rollin Gordon as the company’s Head of Risk Control.
“We’ve been wanting to add a dedicated level of risk expertise to help our clients mitigate their loss and risk potential, and Rollin is a perfect fit,” says President Will Denbo. “He will help us build a new standard for risk control at CIA—where predictive intelligence, surgical precision, and relentless follow-through give our clients an edge their competitors can’t touch.”
As a risk control consultant, Gordon assesses the risk landscape for CIA clients and then develops the necessary safety plans to ensure safe and effective operations. This includes risk assessments, risk mitigation plans aligned with regulatory standards (OSHA, DOT, FMCSA, EPA, etc.), custom safety programs, providing counsel on compliance strategies, and partnering with underwriters to provide proactive risk control efforts to influence coverage terms and pricing. Gordon will focus on high-hazard industries such as transportation, waste, construction, and environmental services.
“My mission is simple: give our clients an unfair advantage,” says Gordon. We’re not just managing risk—we’re eliminating threats before they surface, giving our clients the freedom to make bold moves without looking over their shoulder.”
Prior to joining CIA, Gordon was a risk control consultant for live awards shows, including the Oscars, Critics’ Choice, and Writer’s Guild awards, as well as conducting risk assessments and OSHA compliance monitoring for a range of studios, including NBCUniversal, Netflix, and Fox Sports. Gordon transitioned his entertainment industry work to become Director of Safety for SkyZone, a group of indoor trampoline parks, to create safety plans, address corrective actions, and train over 9,000 employees monthly on safety topics.
“Commercial Insurance Associates redefines what it means to protect and grow a company,” says Gordon. “When you get the call to lead risk control for the team that outperforms, outthinks, and out delivers the rest of the industry, you don’t just accept—you bring every ounce of firepower you’ve got.”
