About
Katherine Vais-Bedolla, CEO
Katherine began her career in the insurance industry in 1989 while still in high school, working under the ownership and mentorship of Richard Lusink. Those early years gave her a strong foundation in customer service, industry knowledge, and the value of building long‑term relationships with clients and carrier partners.
In 2000, Katherine purchased the agency and carried the business into the new millennium, continuing to build on the values the company was founded on. Over the years, she has expanded the agency’s capabilities, strengthened carrier relationships, and remained committed to providing clear, honest guidance to every customer.
With more than three decades of experience, Katherine has successfully navigated multiple market cycles, including some of the most challenging hard markets the industry has faced. Her deep expertise, persistence, and strategic approach allow her to help clients find solutions even when options are limited. She and her team pride themselves on offering steady support, creative problem‑solving, and transparent communication—especially when the market is at its toughest.
Katherine remains dedicated to protecting her clients’ interests and ensuring they feel informed, supported, and confident in their coverage, no matter what the industry landscape looks like.
