Marina Volokhova

Marina Volokhova came to the insurance industry after a decade-long successful career as a corporate IT, logistics and finance professional in Moscow, Russia and, more recently, after a much harder gig as a stay-at-home mom here in the United States. 

As an insurance professional, Marina combines her former high-end project management experience with a genuine passion for helping individuals and businesses select and stay on the right path to proper risk management and asset optimization. Her energy, skill and attention to detail are routinely observed by her clients (individuals and businesses) here in Florida and other parts of the United States.

Marina earned a graduate diploma in biomedical engineering at the Stavropol State University in Stavropol, Russia and an MBA in Finance/International Business from the University of Connecticut School of Business (where she won the Outstanding MBA Award from the Department of Finance and was inducted into the coveted Beta Gamma Sigma Society). Marina, however, does not measure her success by the number of academic degrees—instead, she views her own achievements through the prism of her clients’ success in risk optimization and asset protection. If the client achieves the intended outcome, that is all that matters to her as a professional with Northwestern Mutual. 

When Marina is not in the office—well, that is a contradiction in terms as she is always “in” the office. So, during her imaginary spare time, she enjoys painting (lately, oil on canvas), biking (her favorite bike brand is, naturally, Marin), and fulfilling the role of a relentless complex project manager vis-à-vis her husband and son. She is equally fluent in Russian and English, and, in the past, studied German when she lived in Austria (primarily with the goal of studying—i.e. consuming—Austrian pastry).
