Colin Bernatt
Director of Supervision
After growing up near Pittsburgh, PA and studying Finance/Economics at the University of Pittsbugrh, I decided to leave the snow and cold weather and start my career in Jacksonvile Florida. After 10+ years at Merrill Lynch working in Financial Advising, FINRA Exam Coaching, Operations, and Supervision, with an emphasis on Global Financial Crime and International Wealth Management, I moved to Northwestern Mutual as the Director of Supervision to utilize the various skills I’ve developed in my career to help train associates, educate teammates about current industry policies, and serve as a leader in both the firm and the community. I currently hold my Series 7, 66, 9, 10, 2-15 Insurance license as well as continue to expand my knowledge by pursuing a Masters Degree through Harvard University, School of Extension Studies.Sheila Andersen
