Prudential Annuities

June Amori is Vice President and Director of Marketing for Prudential Annuities, a leading provider of variable annuities. With operations in the United States, Asia, Europe, and Latin America, Prudential is a financial services leader focused on helping approximately 50 million individual and institutional customers grow and protect their wealth.


June has more than 20 years of experience in the variable annuity industry. After joining Prudential Annuities in 2005, she introduced "The Retirement Red Zone" communications program, which motivates investors to rethink their retirement investment strategy during the most critical time of their investment life--the 5 years before or after retirement.   June has used research extensively to understand the needs and wants, attitudes and behaviors of Americans in the Retirement Red Zone.  Partnering with behavioral finance researchers, June introduced "Retirement EQ", a unique tool to help investors understand how their emotions may be influencing their investment decisions and ultimate results.


Prior to joining Prudential, June was Vice President, Marketing for Manulife Financial (now John Hancock) where she led the development and execution of marketing campaigns and communication initiatives for dozens of annuity product introductions and enhancements.  After graduating Iona College with a B.S. in Business Administration, and prior to beginning her career in financial services, June was an Account Executive for a marketing and advertising firm in New York.
