Alex Long: A Passionate Professional

I'm thrilled to be apart of Northwestern Mutual, where my goal is to help individuals and families achieve financial confidence. Growing up in the vibrant communities of Orange County, I made the move to North County, San Diego, in 2020. I earned an associate’s degree in Entrepreneurship from MiraCosta College in Oceanside, a testament to my ambitious nature.

My career has been rooted in customer service and hospitality, allowing me to develop skills that emphasize empathy and client satisfaction. My recent role as a retail sales associate underscored my ability to connect with clients and address their needs. At Northwestern Mutual, I'm inspired by the company’s Fortune 500 recognition and commitment to honesty, integrity, and client interests. I value the autonomy and resources provided, as well as the opportunity to gain equity from my efforts, ensuring benefits for both my clients and my financial future.

In my leisure time, I'm an avid hockey fan who enjoys both playing and watching the sport. My love for hockey, particularly the Detroit Red Wings, is my true passion, although I also enjoy attending baseball games. With newfound autonomy, I'm eagerly looking forward to traveling the world, a long-held aspiration that I'm now poised to fulfill. My enthusiasm for exploration mirrors my professional journey, promising exciting adventures in finance and beyond.

Lending a hand in my community.

As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)

ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.

When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.

Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.

It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
