Jeff Zoller, CLU, Northwestern Mutual
Business Description
Jeff Zoller followed in the footsteps of his father, who began his career with the Northwestern Mutual in 1957, by becoming a Financial Representative in 1989. After seven years with The Stone Network Office in Boston, Jeff returned to Central New York, where he was brought up, and became Managing Director of the local district network office. In March 2010, Jeff stepped down as the Managing Director to concentrate on the relationships that he has developed with his clients throughout his 33-year career. We are vested in helping our friends and clients understand that time is their biggest resource.
The elder Zoller always taught Jeff, “work hard and do the right thing”, and these values are at the heart of his philosophy. Our financial planning practice has developed its own network of specialists, captured many company and industry rewards, and continued to grow. Jeff, his father, and his sister, Holly Gigliotti, together have more than 125 years of experience with Northwestern Mutual.
