Personal
Tavis grew up in Mid-Coast Maine as an avid skier and sailor. After attending Williams College, where he was a member of the Varsity Alpine Ski Team, Tavis moved to New York City and met his wife Brittan. He and his family spent five years living and working abroad in Hong Kong, where they had the opportunity to travel much of Asia.
Tavis and Brittan, along with their son Mac and daughter Nell split their time between Brooklyn and Southampton, NY. You can still find them on the ski slopes in the winter and on the water in the summer.
Professional
Prior to joining Northwestern Mutual, Tavis spent over a decade in strategy and research rolls covering equity research, business strategy, transformation, project management and process implementation at firms including LVMH Group, Macy's and Ping An Group. He has a passion for diagnosing complex problems and developing effective solutions.
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.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
