CHARLOTTE, N.C. – In response to local news about Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) relocating Charlotte-based corporate office roles to Massachusetts, MassMutual Carolinas – a general agency of MassMutual – is issuing this news release to clarify that it is not leaving Charlotte. The MassMutual Carolinas office in Charlotte will still be headquartered out of the Capitol Towers building in SouthPark and will continue serving the Charlotte and greater Carolina communities.
“We want to clarify any confusion that we are not leaving the community and are not moving to Boston,” said Timothy C. Flanagan, Jr., CLU, ChFC, CFP®, ChSNC™, CFBS, President of MassMutual Carolinas. “Our local office and I are not employees of MassMutual, and we are not impacted by this news. We have proudly served Charlotte since 1935 and the Carolinas since 1890, and are here to continue to serve our community and our clients.”
After acquiring a division of MetLife based in Charlotte in 2016, MassMutual opened a Charlotte home office, which is now among a number of corporate offices across the United States that will be consolidated and moved to its headquarters in Springfield and Boston, Mass. Through this process over the next couple of years, MassMutual will add over 2,000 jobs to Massachusetts.
Added Flanagan, “The people who work for MassMutual’s home office in Charlotte have been great supporters and friends of our local firm. We know they are being impacted and we are thinking of them through this time of transition.”
