March 7, 2025 BY

Kay Jackson established Simplex Insurance Solutions 20 years ago this year.

INTERNATIONAL Women’s Day is an important occasion to celebrate accomplishments, contributions and leadership of women around the globe.

This year, Simplex Insurance Solutions, founded by Kay Jackson in 2005, celebrates 20 years of success.

We honour Kay, a highly respected figure in the insurance industry, and her trailblazing work with Simplex Insurance Solutions.

Her dedication to empowering women in the workplace, particularly in the insurance sector, sets an inspiring example for the next generation of leaders.

Kay’s journey Kay has long been a prominent force in the world of insurance.

With an impressive career spanning decades, she has proven that determination, expertise and a passion for service can drive innovation and growth in any field.

Her journey in the industry began with a deep desire to help people and solve complex problems.

As a woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry, Kay faced many challenges. She encountered scepticism and bias, but rather than retreat,

she embraced these challenges as opportunities to break barriers.

Through hard work and perseverance, Kay became a role model for women in business.

She continuously worked to break down the gender barriers in leadership and was instrumental in creating a supportive, inclusive environment at Simplex Insurance Solutions.

Simplex is also known for its employee development, which encourages women to pursue leadership roles within the company. Kay, along with Helen Stephens and Jessica Cudia, are among the company’s four managing directors, working alongside Mitchell Ryan.

Of the 17 staff, 13 are women.

Their commitment to fostering a workplace that empowers both women and men is evident in their initiatives to mentor and support young people from all backgrounds in the industry and offer opportunities for advancement.

They ensure that Simplex serves its clients with excellence but also invests in the growth of its employees.

Empowering women in the workplace

As female leaders in a field that has historically been underrepresented by women in senior roles, Kay, Helen and Jessica continue to pave the way for other women to rise to leadership positions.

Their shared leadership philosophy emphasises the importance of lifting others up.

They believe that when people support each other, it creates a culture of empowerment that leads to success for all.

This philosophy has influenced the culture at Simplex Insurance Solutions, where all are encouraged to pursue their ambitions and achieve professional growth.

So on International Women’s Day, it is essential to recognise the achievements of all women who have made a profound impact on their industries and communities.

Kay’s leadership, vision and commitment to empowering women within the insurance industry demonstrate the transformative power of diversity and inclusion.

Her journey serves as a powerful reminder that women’s contributions are vital to the success and evolution of any industry, and her legacy will continue to inspire for generations to come.
