Wayne Spector, senior vice president of NEST, will now also oversee TRAVELSAVERS, leading sales and service efforts for both networks.

In his expanded position, Spector will oversee 12 business analysts and business development managers.

“Wayne lives and breathes our vision, mission and values every day as he inspires our agencies to achieve even greater success,” said Kathryn Mazza-Burney, TRAVELSAVERS chief sales officer and president of NEST. “He has cultivated a thriving, collaborative community of NEST agencies that lift up one another in pursuit of excellence.”

“Wayne will now bring his proven leadership and unwavering dedication to TRAVELSAVERS as well, and I can’t wait to see how the network soars to new heights under his guidance, Mazza-Burney added.

Spector, who joined TRAVELSAVER in 2013 as a sales representative, later transitioned to NEST as a business analyst and, in 2024, was promoted to senior vice president.

“Nurturing the NEST community has truly been a labor of love,” Spector said. “Our success stems from the close, supportive partnerships we’ve built among advisors, suppliers and staff.”

“I’m looking forward to embracing the TRAVELSAVERS community with the same dedication and attracting new agencies that share our passion for service, collaboration and growth,” he added.

In all, 100 agencies joined TRAVELSAVERS and NEST in 2025, accounting for $400 million in preferred partner sales.

“This builds on 2024’s expansion, when more than 100 agencies also joined, contributing over $279 million in preferred partner sales,” the companies said.
