KIRKLAND, Wash. — Thomas J. (Tom) Bartosic, a long-time leader in the long term care planning field, has joined LTC Financial Partners, LLC (LTCFP), a leading agency specializing in long term care insurance. A former Chief Sales Officer and Senior Vice President for Genworth Financial and senior vice president for both American Express and General Electric, Bartosic now plans to break new ground in the long term care field. “My aim is to attract and support a world-class team of top agents to meet the staggering planning needs of my generation,” he says.
Best known for his ability to recruit and develop sales professionals, Bartosic “helped pioneer today’s long term care insurance field,” says Cameron Truesdell, CEO of LTCFP, “and he works a special magic with sales teams. Tom has a unique ability to inspire people to actualize their potential.”
