Vanesa Mullin

Vanesa was born in Cali, Colombia. She and her family emigrated to the United States when she was 2 years old. Growing up around her father's restaurants, Vanesa was inspired how her father touched the lives of perfect strangers with the art of cooking. Vanesa obtained her bachelor's degree in Fashion Design and Marketing from the American Intercontinental University. After spending almost a decade in retail management, she shifted her pursuits to a career where she could be of service to help others reach financial freedom. She is passionate about making a difference in her community through financial literacy and making the topic of finance fun! She believes that by working with small business owners within their businesses and personal financial planning guiding them to growth and continuity is key. 

 Vanesa is one of the Growth and Development Directors in her office and has a team of Financial Representatives who strive to impact the lives of their clients each and every day. Her mission is to continue to target women, people of color and her Latino community when recruiting. Her team's vision each year is to impact 100 lives a year, and for the last 8 years they have done just that. Vanesa continues to hit Million Dollar RoundTable (MDRT) every year, has achieved Lives Leaders Summit, and was part the Women's leadership group.

Vanesa and her husband Sean live in Palm Beach Gardens with their 2 boys and rescue dog Marley. She loves the beach, staying active, spending time with family and dancing salsa. She is a member of the Leadership Committee for the 2025 Visionary of the Year Campaign at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Palm Beach-Treasure Coast.

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.
