Maria, Director-IS Projects: "I came to Northwestern Mutual through the INROADS program. As I reflect back on my career, I am pleased with the opportunities I have had to develop professionally at Northwestern Mutual. Each job that I've had has provided me with challenge and rewarding experience: first in Policy Owner Services then in Controllers and now in Information Systems. There are many reasons why I am proud to work at Northwestern Mutual. First we offer products and services that provide security for the future of families. Secondly, in buying our products individuals become owners in our business, which is built on the highest ethical standards and has the highest caliber employees. Lastly the connection between the company, its employees and the community is clear as I have received full support and commitment from the company in the volunteer efforts I have pursued."
