“I love to help others reach the goals that they never thought were possible. Leading others to persevere is what drives me” – Jason Frano

As the Managing Director for the Naperville office, Jason is responsible for the growth and development of his financial advisors and teams. In addition to this, he runs his own personal financial advising practice.

Jason joined Northwestern Mutual in 2014 after several years in sales for Toyota Corporation. During his first few years with our firm, he quickly rose to success, becoming “rookie of the year” during his first year, and quickly surpassing many sales milestones. He ranked among the top 50 new advisors throughout the nation in his first few years.

Because of his extensive sales and leadership background, Jason became a leader in his office almost immediately. He was first a College Unit Director for our internship team. After that, he transitioned into a Field Director role, where he developed and led teams of advisors in their first five years.

Throughout his tenure at Northwestern Mutual Chicagoland, Jason has led teams and counseled advisors while building a successful financial advising practice of his own. He is consistently pushing to reach the next level for himself and his teams.

In January of 2020, he became the Managing Director in Naperville.

Jason leads all advisor production, recruiting efforts, and our internship program for the Naperville office.

As a leader, Jason enjoys serving others and watching them reach success. He is passionate about leading growth and always pushing toward success within his teams. Jason is dedicated to holding his teams to the same standards as he holds himself to.

Frano and his wife, Janet, live in Lombard with their two sons Ryan and Chase. Jason enjoys running marathons and coaching his son’s basketball and baseball games.
