TAMPA, FLORIDA – The Insured Retirement Institute (IRI) presented Jenn Price, Senior Vice President, Business Operations, Retirement Services at Corebridge Financial, with its Rising Star Award at the association’s 2025 Annual Conference. This award recognizes emerging leaders who have demonstrated exemplary service to their profession, colleagues, and the insured retirement industry.

“The Rising Star Award recognizes individuals shaping the future of the insured retirement industry through their leadership, innovation, and dedication,” said Wayne Chopus, President and CEO of IRI. “Jenn has made remarkable contributions to Corebridge Financial’s Retirement Services business and to our industry as a whole. Her expertise, strategic vision, and commitment to operational excellence make her a deserving recipient of this award.”

Since joining Corebridge Financial in 2021, Price has played an integral role in advancing the company’s legacy as a leading retirement plan provider for K-12 schools, healthcare, government, higher education, and other not-for-profit institutions. Her leadership is instrumental in supporting the organization’s vision for the future.

In the short time she’s been part of the insured retirement industry, she has rapidly advanced from Vice President, Business Strategy to Senior Vice President, Business Operations, a promotion she earned in September 2024.

In her role, Price is responsible for helping drive the business towards future growth, leading strategic projects, realizing operational efficiencies, and overseeing key business enablement functions. She also oversees VALIC Trust Company, ensuring its continued operational success.

Beyond her operational impact, Price has been a champion for client engagement and financial wellness. She played a pivotal role in promoting a thought leadership platform aimed at narrowing the gap in women’s financial confidence and resilience. Price is highly collaborative in advocating for solutions to benefit underrepresented groups.

“Jenn exemplifies what it means to be a Rising Star in our industry,” Chopus said. “Her passion and commitment to continuous improvement and innovation are helping to shape a stronger future for insured retirement solutions. We celebrate her achievements and look forward to her continued contributions.”
