Northwestern Mutual – Chicago Growing Regional Footprint in Rosemont

Financial planning firm sites market demand for expansion and focus on talent acquisition

CHICAGO - illiNews -- With demand for financial planning services increasing, Thomas J. Canale, a Managing Director with Northwestern Mutual – Chicago, sees an opportunity to turn his passion into action. As a wealth management advisor for more than 24 years, he has experienced the ability to make a difference and have a tangible impact. That impact is far reaching for both clients and his team of professionals within The Canale Financial Group and the Northwestern Mutual-Chicago Rosemont district office he leads.

To better serve a growing base of clients and provide a career opportunity that offers a sense of purpose, he relocated to Rosemont. The new office at 9550 W. Higgins, Suite 450, provides additional space to add 10 financial professionals to the growing team in 2019.

"We made a conscious decision to invest in Rosemont because we believe it presents a unique opportunity to hire top talent to fuel our growth while being part of a dynamic business community," says Canale.

Canale tapped the region in 2004 when he opened a district office in the O'Hare area with six financial professionals. By remaining true to the values of integrity, growth, accountability and impact, under Canale's leadership, the district has grown to a team of 53 financial professionals.

"We believe our continued success is due to the experience and dedication of our multi-generational financial professionals, who set a standard for the highest level of professional expertise - - with the educational degrees and designations to prove it," said Canale.
