As we look back on the past year and ahead to what’s next, I’m reminded why our work matters so deeply. Since stepping into the role of President of Nationwide Retirement Solutions in late 2025, I’ve been honored to lead a team dedicated to helping more Americans prepare for — and ultimately work toward — a secure, dignified retirement. It’s a mission that’s personal to me, and I’m grateful for the trust and partnership you’ve placed in us.

Nearly 3 million participants rely on Nationwide®. The support you provide them every day — and the decisions you make for your plans — play a critical role in helping them move toward the future they want. Thank you for the continued collaboration that makes this shared progress possible.
