Heath Ritenour – A Distinguished Insurance Leader of the Legacy Business, IOA

John Ritenour founded IOA and has been instrumental in ensuring the company remains as an industry leader in the country. Over the years, he was responsible for the development of the company into numerous locations providing employment to over 1000 individuals.

Over the years, he prepared his son Heath Ritenour to take on his position as the leader of IOA. Heath was reluctant at first. He worked within the organization in order to sharpen his skills while learning from the various kinds of employees within the organization. With time, Heath Ritenour established himself well within the organization, getting a good reputation from his excellent work.

Heath Ritenour slowly followed in his father’s footsteps, developing a culture of hard work and proper leadership. With time, he came to the realization that he was the only suitable person to take on the role of his father.

He was driven by the fact that IOA was responsible for serving hundreds of families, and he did not want the change of leadership to affect the families. The family legacy company, IOA, has maintained its private nature for years, which enables it to offer quality services to its clients as well as its partners.

Heath Ritenour notes that his main goal, among many others, is to retain the company’s family culture. John Ritenour played a great role in Heath’s development as a child.

Heath also notes that with the family legacy in the company, they are able to invest in long-term returns, which will benefit all the IOA clients. Heath developed a reputable work ethic and continues to seek guidance from his father on important company matters.
