As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mr. Gordon has established a distinguished career in the financial wellness benefits sector, demonstrating more than three decades of expertise and leadership. As president of Power Voluntary Benefits Inc. since 2016, he has dedicated himself to addressing the pressing issue of employee financial stress within large organizations. In this capacity, he calls on major companies to present innovative financial wellness programs, researches unique offerings designed to alleviate employee financial burdens and facilitates cash loans through employers at manageable interest rates. His efforts focus on supporting employees in breaking the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck by collaborating closely with human resources departments to implement effective programs.
Additionally, Mr. Gordon encourages his small team to generate leads for potential business opportunities, oversees the setup of payroll deductions and ensures system compatibility for seamless program integration. He actively promotes free financial consulting services for employees and monitors the effectiveness of these initiatives by gathering feedback and making necessary adjustments. His commitment to improving workplace financial health has earned him recognition as an expert in financial wellness benefits.
Prior to his current role, Mr. Gordon served as president of The Benefit Source from 1992 to 2016. During this 23-year tenure, he successfully owned and operated the company, providing essential insurance solutions and building a reputation for reliability and client-focused service. The longevity and success of The Benefit Source stand as a testament to his business acumen and dedication, enabling him to provide for his family and support future generations. He takes particular pride in having built two thriving companies—BenefitSource Inc. and Power Voluntary Benefits Inc.—both of which have allowed him to support his daughter and her eight children.
Throughout his career, Mr. Gordon has valued the opportunity to connect with individuals across all levels of the workforce, from those striving to improve their circumstances to chief executive officers with whom he has developed lasting friendships. He finds great reward in appreciating the full spectrum of the working population, often enjoying activities like golfing with business associates.

Mr. Gordon's entry into the financial wellness field was driven by a keen awareness of market needs. In 2016 and 2017, he observed that many individuals were struggling financially and could no longer afford traditional insurance products.
