Join us on Friday 9/18/2026 (9:30-11:00 am PDT) for our September “Tea Chat” to meet Hadley L. Wood, CEO of H. Linwood Insurance Services, a seasoned business insurance specialist and a certified risk manager. For the past over 20 years, Hadley has been helping all types of businesses, ranging from IT consulting firms, medical companies, film production studios, construction trades, to wineries, etc., finding appropriate insurance products and craft specific risk management strategies that effectively protect their assets. Let’s learn about her journey soon! Hadley graduated from Emerson College (1990), an institution in Boston that highly specializes in communication, media and arts, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Film & Journalism. With a dream to travel the world and tell fascinating stories, she started her career in the movie industry of Southern California, and gradually moved up into management, sales & distribution for MGM Studios (1997-2002). She has obtained her MBA from the Anderson School of Business at UCLA (2000), that prepared her well for a transition into the brand-new journey later in the insurance space. Becoming "exhausted" by the Hollywood, she decided to move back to her hometown in 2003. And here we are! For the recent years, Hadley has been authoring the monthly column “Risky Business” for both San Diego Veterans and Homeland Magazines, conducting various workshops and seminars for entrepreneurs and small business owners, besides actively mentoring for a variety of different incubation programs. She absolutely still loves traveling, and enjoys her home in the beautiful coastal City of Carlsbad just north to San Diego, where she often hosts parties and spends time with many friends (along with her loyal furry friend "Oliver").
