Tom’s career at Hartford Funds has taken him from internal sales to marketing communications, all the while nurturing and leading the firm’s longstanding public-speaking club. Today, he’s motivated by seeing how much his presentations, especially those on longevity, connect with audiences. “Longevity planning is a common bond—we’ll all experience the impacts of aging,” Tom says. His firsthand experience helping aging parents cope with Alzheimer’s disease makes educating audiences that much more meaningful.
