NEW YORK, Feb. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Rising Star Women Leaders in Finance for 2025. These exceptional women have far more than competent accounting skills—they are analytical thinkers, critical problem solvers, and strategic decision-makers who are shaping the future of their industries. With strong managerial expertise and exceptional communication skills, they excel at navigating the complexities of an ever-evolving financial landscape, guiding their organizations toward success.
Among this year’s honorees is Barbara Whitehorn, Director of Finance Services and Chief Fiscal Officer for the City of Sedona Finance Department. Whitehorn has a passion for public service that drives her to seek what others may perceive as problematic or uncertain opportunities. In her role, she is responsible for leading the finance team and coordinating with other departments to ensure compliance with law and policy, stewardship of public assets, transparency, and exceptional service.
We also celebrate Brandi Hydleburg, a Field Director for Northwestern Mutual. Hydleburg is a financial advisor on a mission to empower phenomenal women. With a decade of experience in the financial industry and the licenses to back it, she has built an advisory practice focused on preparation. By making goal-setting the priority, she creates a safe, comfortable space, where collaborative efforts are made to build a solid financial plan with her clients.
Finally, we honor Josephine Schweiloch, Executive Director of Finance in Data Science and Technology at IBM. Schweiloch is a leader in large-scale enterprise transformations, leveraging data science, artificial intelligence, and automation to drive innovation. With deep expertise in the tech sector, mergers and acquisitions, product strategy, and workforce skills transformation, she has a proven track record of building diverse, high-performing teams.
