Gabby Butkute

My family immigrated here from Lithuania when I was only 3 years old. My parents had one big adidas travel bag that catered to our whole family. We started to build the American dream from the ground up. I have seen, felt, and enjoyed the honest reality of what consistent and disciplined financial planning looks like over many years.

As a first-generation college student, upon graduation I was fortunate enough to start my practice locally in the Chicagoland Suburbs. I quickly fell in love with the process of helping others reach their full potential when it comes to their goals and finances.

Outside of my professional life, I love all things fitness- yoga, bike rides, HIIT, strength, and kick boxing. I spend other free time with my Fiancé James, reading, walking our German Shephard Oakley, traveling and spending time with friends and family. 

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:

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.
