John Fay, CFP^®, CLU^®, CLTC^® - Wealth Management Advisor, Northwestern Mutual

Georgia BUILT Board Secretary

John Fay has been involved with Georgia BUILT since its inception. His commitment to community service and philanthropy, coupled with his professional expertise and strong industry relationships, significantly contributes to the organization’s impact.

After 14 years in construction and engineering management, John launched his own Financial Planning practice in 2011. He discovered Georgia BUILT at a time in his career when he was looking for a place to get involved and continue to grow a strong network for himself and his extended professional team. He sought an organization that would support his goals for continued growth in leadership while broadening his peer network within the industry. 

John is a trusted advisor on the Georgia BUILT board and has served in multiple leadership roles over the years. He continues to be a champion for the organization’s community outreach efforts, personally spearheading the AFLAC All-Stars Party that benefited the AFLAC Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. He also launched Georgia BUILT’s involvement with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation fundraising in partnership with Northwestern Mutual and his team at work. 

When not volunteering his time with Georgia BUILT or working you can find John traveling somewhere fantastic with the most important people in life - his wife and four children. 

John’s advice on getting the most out of your Georgia BUILT membership:

“ENGAGE! Get involved, volunteer, attend events, bring others from your network, and ‘Go All In.’ As an individual, you get out what you put in. I am personally and professionally invested in the success of both the people and the organization of Georgia BUILT. This group has become my extended family. You can’t find that within every professional organization. This is truly different.” 

THANK YOU JOHN FOR YOUR SERVICE!
