Todd C. McDonald, President
tmcdonald@aisling-partners.com

Todd McDonald is the President of Aisling Partners Insurance Brokerage, LLC, an independent resource in the health and welfare marketplace. His specialty is business consulting in the area of employee benefits. Todd’s goal is to provide the most comprehensive benefits program by customizing the products and solutions to fit the needs of his corporate clients and their employees. Todd incorporates his passion for helping people and developing friendships in to his every day practice.

Todd started his career with Paul Revere Life Insurance Company back in the early 90′s as a wholesaler for individual disability products. Shortly after the merger with Paul Revere and Provident Life and Accident in 1996, Todd changes his focus and attention away from individuals products to that of employee benefits. In September 1998 he was recruited to GE Financial Assurance (formerly Phoenix Home Life) in Boston, MA as a Group Sales Representative where he remained until the spring of 2002. In April 2002, Todd executed his plan to create a premier employee benefits company by founding Aisling Partners Insurance Brokerage, LLC. Todd remains very active in his community as well as in the Insurance Industry, and he will continue to sit on Boards of Directors on both a local and state level.

Todd has a demonstrated track record of being successful in his endeavors. From early in his career when he received the largest fast start bonus in Paul Revere history to his Leadership Qualifications and Production Awards at GE Financial, Todd has always demonstrated the drive and motivation to achieve, and exceed, the personal and professional challenges surrounding him. He is a person that will continue to demonstrate leadership at its finest while keeping his clients needs in the forefront.

Todd and his wife Julie reside in Paxton, Massachusetts with their three young boys, Nicholas Matthew, and Curtis. Todd plays golf as well as other sports and activities, but spending time with his family is where he finds his true enjoyment.
