Entrepreneurship has been an ever-present part of Financial Consultant, Kenny DePaola’s upbringing. After helping grow his family’s business to $1M in revenue in only three years, Kenny, took his management, operations, and marketing skills to Northwestern Mutual. In his first year, he earned both the firm’s Bronze Award as a Top Five Percenter in his region among Northwestern Mutual advisors with less than 5 years experience, and the Northwestern Mutual Agency Growth Award for expanding his practice, contributing as a team member, and generating revenue to allow for the hiring of new staff members.
Kenny, who says his favorite quote is, “There is no elevator to success, you must take the stairs,” describes his childhood as one that taught him to be a white-collar worker with a blue-collar work ethic. His commitment to hard work continues to pay off.
Today, Financial Consultant Kenny DePaola is part of Fulcrum Partners, one of the nation’s largest and leading executive benefits consultancies. As a key member of the team at Fulcrum Partners Chicago, Kenny’s expertise includes life insurance, strategic and financial planning, succession management, and consistently providing attentive and remarkable client care.
