I have 10 years’ experience in the South African and European life insurance industries ranging from valuations, pricing, risk management and audit to consulting. I have worked in a traditional actuarial environment in the valuations and pricing teams at major South African life insurers as well as in a less traditional environment in the Risk Management team at a start-up bancassurer within one of the largest banks. Over the past 4.5 years, I have worked in the life insurance pricing team at ABSA Life and gained exposure to pricing, product development, model development, post implementation testing and validations and the development of actuarial tools. I have gained significant Prophet experience in this role. My responsibilities have included data analysis and validation, experience investigations, and building models in Excel and VBA in the Valuations space. I have also been responsible for the end-to-end development of Key Performance indicator dashboards, the interpretation of the output metrics, investigation of issues and ultimately the presentation to the Executive Committee on a monthly basis in the Risk Management space. I have significant experience in review work such as pricing and product development, experience investigations and valuation reviews; as well as playing a role in multiple year-end audits. I have extensive experience in Excel, SAS, SQL, VBA and Prophet.
