Bio – Tammy Gibson-Reynolds
After 9 years in the medical field I was introduced to the Financial & Insurance Service Industry 25 years ago. I began in worksite marketing in the Public Sector industry. Networking, training, recruiting, prospecting, and building partnerships with client groups as a Public Sector Area Manager for Colonial Supplemental Life Insurance Company. I became a student of this industry. With gaining expertise knowledge in group benefits, voluntary benefits and the financial services sector we expanded into an independent brokerage agency in 2006. Offering our enrollment platform services to groups from 5 EE’s to over 200,000. It I pride myself in protecting family wealth. I was interviewed for my input of the importance of Life insurance for building family security in a book called “Girl make your money grow” which was featured in Oprah Winfrey’s book club. I was also featured in the Detroiter magazine in an article on conserving family future wealth. I was contracted with a national benefits enrollment company for 10 years to do advising and working with their engagement, implementation and field teams. This company is part of the CNO family. I really enjoy my career in the insurance and financial service industry. I Love feeling and knowing that I have made a difference in employers’ EE lives by being that extension to their HR department. I’ve always made sure family was first. My youngest daughter just got married this year on February 2nd. I couldn’t have chosen a better husband for her myself. We all still enjoy spending time together even though all of the kids are all moved out with their own homes and families. My husband and I spend all our free time together. Rather if it’s the bowling league, dance lessons, going to concerts or stealing a few travel days together. I am super excited to protect and secure all of my clients wealth for generations!
