Charlie Santiago

Managing Partner

Office: (931)-334-3844

Integrity, hard work, dedication and passion are some of the words used to describe Charlie Santiago.
Being raised in a family of immigrants, Charlie learned the value of hard work early in life as he watched his father work over 80 hours a week as a yellow cab driver in New York City, where he was born. During his early teenage years, the family moved back to the Dominican Republic to run multiple family businesses where he worked by his father’s side.

At age 17, Charlie decided he wanted to live back in the states, and at the young age of 21 he helped start and manage a successful business in the entertainment industry. He ended up selling his stakes in the company after 3 years. Shortly after in May of 2006 Charlie began his New York Life Career for the Nashville New York Life General office; as an agent he won multiple awards including Nashville GO’s Rookie of the Year. He quickly became a Financial Services Professional and transitioned to the Partner role in June of 2008.

As a partner, Charlie was Partner of The Year, Gathering of Eagles Winner for 3 years, and a Leading Partner for 2 years. In April of 2015, Charlie was promoted to be the Managing Partner of the Reno General Office, and then in June of 2108 was promoted to be the Managing Partner of the Harrisburg General Office. While in Harrisburg, Charlie won the management development trophy and was a Partner's Roundtable Qualifier in 2021. In January 2022, he was appointed as Corporate Vice President for New York Life Northeastern Agencies.

Charlie has a passion for business and building business people. He considers hiring his father at New York Life as one of his biggest accomplishments.

He is married to his wife Anaura, and has 3 beautiful children, Robert, Mia, and Sebastian.
