Patrick O'Donnell
With over 10 years’ experience as a digital marketer and strategist, Patrick enjoys somewhat of an outsider’s perspective on marketing the life insurance and annuities business even though he grew up in the shadows of National Life Group (literally, as a child he lived around the corner from the Montpelier office). Before joining the digital marketing team in 2018, he gained valuable brand experience with a variety of world-class, innovative companies in such industries as athletics and apparel, ski and snowboard, travel and tourism and cooperative finance.
Patrick is a passionate fan of all Boston’s sports teams as well as his alma mater, the University of Oregon’s Fighting Ducks (Go Ducks!). He is an avid reader, writer, and runner and spends as much time as possible outside in all of Vermont’s seasons, exploring with his family.
