How can we continue to provide professional services for the sustainable management of risk and uncertainty in significantly shifting environments?

The critical need in the coming three years will be to successfully implement the forward looking and interconnected strategic plan that the SOA Board expects to finalize in October. Its implementation will require the continued collaboration and engagement of the Board with the SOA staff, volunteer leadership and members to look beyond business as usual and lean into the future in a critical and opportunistic manner.

Brief description of current work:

Consulting and Expert Witness Work

Primary Area(s) of Practice:

Life and Risk Management

Opportunity for the Profession:

Last May I was asked to share with the Milliman Life actuaries my views on how Big Data and InsurTech could impact our profession over the next 5-10 years. I hope they are relevant for you.
