LOS ANGELES — Less than a year after debuting her niche insurance brand to the broader pleasure industry, Ashlin Hadden is in the running for Woman of the Year XBIZ Exec Award.
Hadden is the founder of Essence Protection, a team of insurance brokers who specialize in coverage plans for adult retailers, content creators, and anyone operating a business under the sexual wellness industry umbrella.
“This industry has truly captured my heart, and I'll stop at nothing to protect the clients who've become like family to me,” says Hadden. “Receiving this honor and being named among the amazing women who have blazed a trail before me is difficult to put into words, especially in my very first year of really diving into this welcoming and truly special business space.
“To everyone who added my name to their ballot, your recognition of my efforts means so much, and I can't wait to continue to serve you and your businesses as an ally, confidant, and friend throughout the coming year,” she concluded. “And of course, a huge thanks to the entire team at XBIZ — Sara, Alec, Moe, and Ariana — for including Essence Protection and supporting our mission!”
The retail industry edition of the 2027 XMAs, presented by Svakom and sister brand Kaotik Labs, is set to take place on Saturday, Jan. 9, in conjunction with the XBIZ 2027 event series. Voting for the 2027 XBIZ Exec Awards is currently ongoing at XBIZ.net and continues through Friday, Nov. 6.
