Age: 27
William Cea started his insurance career as a production assistant at Brown & Riding in 2013 and has since worked his way up to broker. In 2017, Cea joined B&R’s Rainmaker Group, an internal mentorship program that recognizes and supports up-and-coming brokers. The following year, he was ranked number one in his Rainmaker production category based on overall revenue, new business revenue and client feedback.
Cea has developed a niche as a transportation specialist, serving as the property lead for B&R’s transportation specialty practice area. He is also the company’s primary expert for inland marine coverages. Cea has achieved noteworthy revenue growth over the last couple of years – his year-end revenue for 2018 was more than double the previous year, and he has nearly doubled it again thus far in 2019.
