Marissa Savino Williams grew up surrounded by individuals who support Northwestern Mutual's philosophy and culture.
"I come from a family of strong believers in the products and services of the Northwestern Mutual. My Dad, Joe Savino, has been a Managing Partner with Northwestern Mutual for the last 30 years. My Mom, Joanne Savino, served as the Executive Director of Recruiting for 19 years and currently works as the Director of Marketing, and my youngest brother Mark, an Ivy League graduate of Brown University, is also a Financial Representative with Northwestern Mutual. Although we work independently of one another, I feel fortunate to interact with them on a daily basis. Our combined experience with Northwestern Mutual exceeds 60 years!"
"Growing up I was able to witness firsthand the impact that financial representatives had on their client’s lives. As an adult entering a career I knew I wanted to make an impact on peoples' lives and what better way to do that than help them achieve financial security for themselves and their family. I feel blessed that while I love what I do, I also am able to help people reach their goals and dreams!"
"I am proud to be part of such a quality group of individuals at The Savino Financial Group, as well as a company honored as one the 'World's Most Admired Companies' in the life insurance industry according to FORTUNE® magazine's 2012 annual survey."
