Personal
Patrick E. Olski, joined Northwestern Mutual in February 2002. Patrick started his career with New England Telephone in 1988, and left at the merger that created Verizon Communications 12 years later. He enjoyed positions of increasing responsibility in the areas of Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Business Development. After Verizon, Patrick joined eDial, an Internet based Telecommunications Service Provider, as Director of Business Development for 1 year, then left when the Internet bubble burst in 2001.
He is originally from Liverpool, New York. He graduated from Syracuse University in 1986 with an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. While at Syracuse University Patrick was a member of the Crew team, and was actively involved with his fraternity Zeta Psi. He earned his Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from Boston College in 1994.
He is the proud parent of two awesome boys, Brendan (22) who just graduated from Washington & Lee University, and David (20) a Junior at University of Maine Orono. Leisure activities include watching and attending sporting events, cycling, skiing, and golf. Patrick is involved with fundraising for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute as a 15 year rider in the Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) and rides with Team Lick Cancer. The PMC is a 192-mile cycling event completed over 2 days, and has raised over $700 million since 1980 to find a cure for Cancer.
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.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
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.
