Securing Your Choice
Shelbi Larsen is a Partner Account Manager at Human Interest, where she champions affordable, accessible retirement plans for businesses of all sizes. With six months at Human Interest and extensive prior experience directly supporting business owners, Shelbi understands the daily challenges businesses face.
She partners with professionals like benefit brokers, bankers, and financial advisors to educate them on Minnesota's new retirement legislation and how Human Interest's innovative solutions are helping to close the national retirement savings gap. In turn, she hopes this helps her partners' business-owner clients so they too understand what is on the horizon and can be properly informed and in the know. By doing so, she aims to ensure that all working Americans, not just those at large corporations, have a path to a secure financial future.
