Description: Actuaries play pivotal roles in insurance companies, consulting firms, and throughout the industry.

The panelists will cover how actuaries add value in a non-actuarial world, what aspects actuaries can focus on to be more effective across disciplines, and incorporate success stories as well as lessons learned.
