Austin Stanley

Austin Stanley joined the Crown Point Northwestern Mutual team immediately after graduating from Manchester University with a degree in Business and minor in Sales. Originally from Crown Point, Austin went on to Manchester where he was a member of the football team, member of the Spanish club, as well as capitalizing on the opportunity to study abroad for a semester in Barcelona, Spain. After going through the Internship Program, Austin decided to pursue a career as a Northwestern Mutual Financial Advisor. “I immediately fell in love with everything about Northwestern; our culture, our values and our mission for our clients made pursuing a career inevitable.”

Since joining Northwestern, Austin has earned his 6, 7 and 63 and taken on the role as the office’s Managing Director. “I’ve always enjoyed learning, but I realized early on that I loved being able to then share and pass on that knowledge to others, so to me, being in leadership was an easy decision to make.”

In his free time, Austin enjoys playing sports, spending time with family and reading.

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.
