Northwestern Mutual-Chicago names Reddington college unit captain

Kevin Reddington, a financial advisor with Northwestern Mutual-Chicago in Oak Brook, has been appointed a College Unit Captain.

Reddington takes on a leadership role with the internship program and will assist in the training, development and mentoring of college financial representatives. He will continue to build relationships with his clients while also building relationships with campus professionals and prospective intern candidates on local college campuses.

Reddington joined the firm as a college financial representative in the postgraduate internship program in 2014. Fresh off his economics degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, he had the opportunity to grow his practice in Chicago while learning the fundamentals of financial planning. After six months in the internship program, Kevin was excited to come on board full-time starting January 2015. He holds his series 6 and 63 securities license and is licensed in life, health, disability and long term care insurance.

Reddington is an active supporter of the Northwestern Mutual-Chicago childhood cancer philanthropic impact initiative. He recently served on the Golf Committee which raised $40,000 for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. The proceeds will help advance research into new treatments and cures for childhood cancer. He also regularly volunteers with his colleagues at the local Ronald McDonald House providing meals to families staying at one of the five houses in Chicago.
