Dear Fellow Actuaries,
I am honoured to be an endorsed candidate for the SOA Board of Directors. I am committed to contributing meaningfully to our profession’s growth and evolution.
Leveraging my unique perspective across international markets, my focus as a Board member will be to assist the SOA to execute a robust international strategy, foster a culture that embraces Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and to equip actuaries to harness the power of AI / Gen AI effectively.
My focus areas as a Board member:
- Collaboration and Partnership: Bring together technical experts, business leaders, and actuaries to address complex risks holistically.
- AI / Gen AI with Purpose: Embrace AI to enhance efficiency and capabilities while preserving human judgment, context, and empathy.
- Inclusion Matters: Champion diversity, professional development, and equal opportunities.
I am an international actuary with over 17 years of experience across Canada, Japan, and Hong Kong. I have been a long-time volunteer of the SOA, having served on many different projects and committees for more than a decade.
Your vote matters. Together, as a global community, let’s shape the actuarial profession, inspire future actuaries, and leave a legacy that we can be proud of.
Please check out my campaign questionnaire, page, and video to learn more!
Thank you for your consideration.
Warm regards,
Victor

Dear Fellow Actuaries,
The SOA election has now opened!
I would be honoured if you could take some time to consider my candidacy and to cast your vote for me for the Board of Directors. Instead of reading the email, you may also check out my linked page for a 30 second video on my campaign.
Reflecting on my journey from a determined exam-taker to today, I recognize the transformative power of our profession. I am proud that actuaries not only solve complex business problems but also contribute to addressing global issues and societal changes. I have been involved in a wide range of SOA volunteer roles for over a decade and have been fortunate to have met many mentors who have guided and prepared me well as I pursue leadership opportunities where I felt I could have a broader impact.
My objective as a Board member will be to assist the SOA to execute a robust international strategy, foster a culture that embraces Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and equip actuaries to harness the power of AI effectively.
