With experience in the life insurance industry as well as technology and startups, Young brings a unique mix of marketing, communications and customer engagement expertise to the Fortune 1000 company.
“Innovation is key to delivering value to existing and future clients. We specifically wanted a marketing and communications head who had diverse experience, and could draw from the innovation economy to better position Penn Mutual for the future. John’s 30 years of experience in diverse industries will play a critical role in telling our story in a compelling, differentiated manner to advisers and consumers.” – Dave O’Malley, president and COO at Penn Mutual.
