Denbo is a Top Platinum Retail Broker, Goff is a Rising Star
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 17, 2025 — William Denbo, president of Commercial Insurance Associates (CIA), was named a Platinum Broker, part of Insurance Business America’s (IBA) List of Top Retail Brokers of 2025, and Jordan Goff, a principal and partner with CIA, was named to IBA’s 2025 Rising Stars list.
“While I’m delighted to be named a Top Broker, it’s wonderful to see Jordan get the recognition he deserves. He exemplifies exceptional client service, and has built a reputation as a trusted advisor,” says Denbo. “Internally, he is a collaborative leader and mentor who actively supports his colleagues. Delighted to see him achieve Rising Star honors.”
Denbo has achieved Top Broker status for the eighth consecutive year. The annual Top Brokers list recognizes brokers based on a nomination process and a review of business performance.
“To qualify, brokers needed to show at least $1 million in premium revenue for 2024, with 50% or more from commercial P&C, and demonstrate year-over-year revenue growth from 2023,” says IBA in their recent newsletter.
“The role of a retail broker has undergone a significant transformation, becoming increasingly intricate, demanding, and consequently, more valuable than ever before,” says Scott Denbo, chief executive officer. “I’m super proud of my brother’s achievements and grateful to see him achieve this well deserved recognition.”
Goff is a first time Rising Stars winner, recognizing the best insurance professionals under 40. Following recommendations from managers and senior professionals, they were selected by an independent judging panel of industry leaders.
“Jordan exemplifies the next generation of talent crucial to our industry,” says Scott Denbo, chief executive officer. “We are dedicated to cultivating an environment where professionals like Jordan can flourish and build successful careers. We couldn’t be more proud of his achievement.”
