Financial Engines (NASDAQ:FNGN), America’s largest independent registered investment advisor1, today announced that its president and chief executive officer Lawrence Raffone served as a panelist for the White House Conference on Aging, which took place on Monday, July 13th, 2015.

The panel addressed Technology and the Future of Aging, and was moderated by Jeff Zients, Director of the National Economic Council and Assistant to the President for Economic Policy. Other panelists included Susannah Fox, Chief Technology Officer of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; Rachel Holt, Regional General Manager, East Coast, at Uber; Tom Parkinson, Senior Vice President & Chief Technology Officer, at Peapod LLC; Charles Wallace, Associate Professor, Computer Science, at Michigan Technological University; and Donna Levin, Co-Founder & VP, Policy, CSR and Global Workplace Solutions, at Care.com. United States Secretary of Labor Tom Perez delivered the closing remarks.

The panel explored how older Americans might use new technologies, but also how companies can work with older people to deliver products and services that seniors will want to use in their daily lives. Financial Engines president and CEO Lawrence Raffone explained that the company is seeing elders embrace technology that supplements, rather than replaces, services provided by people.

“We’re proud to be working with the administration to highlight issues of interest to older Americans, including how technology can impact long-term financial security,” said Raffone. “Financial Engines was founded in 1996 with the purpose of providing working Americans access to high-quality retirement help through innovative technology. Today, our mission remains the same. We are committed to helping millions of employees achieve a rewarding retirement.”

The White House Conference on Aging has been held once a decade, beginning in 1961 and is designed to help chart the course of aging policy. The 2015 Conference focused on four areas: ensuring retirement security; promoting healthy aging; providing long-term services and supports; and protecting older Americans from financial exploitation, abuse, and neglect.
