We’re proud to announce the 2025 class of HousingWire Insiders — 80 exceptional operational leaders who are driving real impact behind the scenes across housing. These professionals represent the backbone of their organizations, leading innovation, strengthening operations, and executing with precision to move their companies — and the housing industry — forward. Now in its 10th year, the Insiders award recognizes the operations leaders who consistently go above and beyond to deliver excellence, often without the spotlight.
