In 1976, Mutual of America moved its headquarters into 62,000 square feet (5,800 m2) at 666 Fifth Avenue.[9] In 1992, Mutual of America bought a 34-story building at 320 Park Avenue in New York from Olympia and York for $130 million, and turned it into the Mutual of America building. The building had been occupied by ITT Inc. up until 1990. The building's redesign was managed by Swanke Hayden Connell Architects.[10][11]

In 1971, William Flynn became the president of Mutual of America. He became the CEO the following year, and the chairman in 1982.[12][13]

In 2005, he became the company chairman emeritus of Mutual of America.[13]

In 1992, Thomas J. Moran was named president of the company, the first person to have been appointed president from within the company.[14] He was named CEO in 1995 and in June 2005, he was appointed chairman of the board.[15]

Mutual of America remained profitable throughout the subprime mortgage crisis.[16]

In 2016, Thomas J. Moran retired as CEO and John R. Greed replaced him, becoming both president and CEO.[17] In 2018, John Greed became chairman of the board following Thomas Moran's decision to retire from the company.[18] Thomas Moran was named Chairman Emeritus, a position he held until his death in August 2018. John Greed joined the company in 1996.[17]

In June 2024, Brian Q. Severin was appointed president in place of John Greed, who retained the positions of Chairman and CEO.[19]

In July 2024, Stephen J. Rich was appointed chairman of the board and CEO, succeeding John Greed.[20]
