Annemarie “Anne” Long is the founder and president of Long Consulting Group, a consulting firm specializing in revenue growth strategies for the distribution of insurance and financial services products. Anne’s background includes successful executive leadership roles with Manulife, Merrill Lynch, and NFP.

Born in Philadelphia to an Irish woman from Co. Carlow, Anne was adopted by Larry and Bonnie Long, who helped foster a love of her Irish heritage. She says, “What my Irish heritage means to me is to live with optimism and to see the possibilities, not the obstacles! Just as my birth mother came to this country in search of more opportunities and had to overcome adversity, I too always look for what is possible in life.”

Anne serves on the Board of Trustees of the American College and on Temple University’s College of Liberal Arts Board of Visitors, her alma mater. She carries her affinities for relationships and effecting positive change into her rewarding personal endeavors where she is currently pursuing her passion for developing girls’ confidence and self-esteem through her organization Girl Possible. She lives in Austin, TX with her wife Sarah.
