Todd L. Laszewski, FSA, CLU®, MS, is a fellow of the Society of Actuaries and an adjunct professor at The American College of Financial Services. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1985 with a Master of Science in Actuarial Science. Upon graduation, he started working for Northwestern Mutual (NM) in Milwaukee, WI, with increasing levels of responsibility across various departments throughout the company.

Laszewski was primarily responsible for pricing and designing various insurance products offered by NM (life, DI, annuities), leading the product development corporate teams for various life insurance and long-term care insurance initiatives, and being the company’s product tax actuary. He has also served on a number of insurance industry committees and ad-hoc insurance industry groups, partnering closely with NM’s government relations team to advocate for life insurance and long-term care insurance at both the state and national levels.

Laszewski retired in June 2024 from Northwestern Mutual as vice president and actuary after a nearly 39-year career. He enjoys spending time with his family (wife Ruth and daughters Sarah and Krista), all UW-Madison alumni. He is now also keeping quite busy teaching, doing volunteer work, mentoring, and squeezing in some golf whenever possible!
