Meet the Team

Jorge Gutierrez

President/CEO

I grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago; Dolton, IL to be exact and relocated to Indiana in 2007 to raise my family. I attended South Suburban College for my Associate’s degree, and then went to Robert Morris College for my Bachelor’s in Business Administration. I also attended Roosevelt University for my MBA. Regarding my experience in the insurance industry, I opened my insurance agency in 2015 but have been in the business and consulting industry for over 23 years. I don’t consider what I do work. I love what I do. Helping individuals and families protect what they love most.

On a personal level, I really enjoy traveling with my family. Spending quality time with them in various places around the globe fills me. I’m techy and love gadgets! A fun fact about me is that I’m usually the IT guy everywhere I go. I spend my weekends mostly coaching my girl’s soccer team year-round and watching movies with my family. I consider coaching my girl’s soccer team part of my volunteer activities – I’ve been doing it for over 4 years now and love seeing them work as a team. I’m also involved with several chambers in my community helping local business owners.

Erika Gutierrez

Vice President

I grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago, in Harvey, IL. I moved to Indiana in 1998 to raise a family and enjoy the local community. I’ve helped develop and grow our agency team for almost 7 years now. I’ve also managed my own childcare center business for over 12 years with a teaching staff of 25. Coaching and developing individuals to achieve their career and personal goals makes me love my job.

When not busy with work, I really enjoy spending quality time with my daughters and traveling. We can’t wait to plan our next vacation. I enjoy socializing and getting to know people. My guilty pleasure is desserts, but I don’t really know how to bake. I’m a foodie and love tasting new flavors across the world. On most weekends, you can find me on the soccer fields cheering my daughters and their team! I enjoy shopping with my girls. I love children and look for different organizations and events that support children and teachers.

Maria L. Casares

Manager of Operations/License Agent

I’m an East Chicago resident for over 50 years. I attended college once my children were in school full-time. I have a degree in Business! Regarding my professional experience, I have been a licensed agent for the last 35 years. I really like my job because I enjoy working with people and sharing knowledge about the insurance they should know. Truly fulfilling! Educating customers on the importance of insurance is extremely important to me – opening a chapter on how the insurance works and how it covers them! Working with staff and seeing them grow & sharing the excitement of selling is also great.

My personal joy is my family and it extends to my work family also. Even customers are treated like family in our agency. Be true to your heart! I tend to care too much some say. I don’t think so, if you can’t sell from your heart; it’s not real or caring. When I’m not working, I enjoy relaxing or at an outing with family.

Regarding my professional insurance career, I’ve been licensed in Life, Accident & Health, Property, and Casualty since 1995. I have been with Allstate Insurance since 2004 and I love it!

Natalie Salinas

Customer Service Representative

I grew up in Schererville, Indiana. I currently attend Purdue University as a Marketing major. I have been with the Gutierrez Family Agency for 3 months as a Customer Service Representative. What feels more rewarding about my job is whenever after a call, I know I was able to satisfy a customer’s needs or just made their day.

On a personal note, I enjoy my time with my family and friends, there is never a dull moment with them. Whenever I have some free time, I love indulging my time in art such as painting and beauty/fashion. On most weekends, you can find me in the city of Chicago, there are always fun things to do down there.
