NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Rising Star Women Leaders in Insurance for 2025. Insurance continues to play a vital role in protecting individuals, businesses, and communities from risks that range from natural disasters to cyberattacks. As the industry evolves with new technologies and regulatory demands, a new generation of leaders is stepping forward. These rising stars are advancing fresh approaches, strengthening client relationships, and building the skills and perspectives that will guide the industry into its next chapter.
Among this year's awardees is Jaime Gaudet, Market Director at Aflac.

We also honor Sarah Kac, Director of Insurer Relations at Simply Business. With 20 years in the property and casualty insurance sector, Kac has built her career around strengthening carrier partnerships and supporting the company's growth. She focuses on expanding access to insurance solutions for small businesses, working to ensure products are tailored to their specific needs. Her efforts foster collaboration across the industry and contribute to broader opportunities for small business owners.
Finally, we congratulate Laura Spadafora, Director of Life and Financial Services at Farmers Insurance. With extensive experience in the insurance industry, Spadafora leads strategic initiatives that support sales growth, premium profitability, and market expansion.
