A video of this event is now available to view on:
This event is aimed at shining the spotlight on actuaries who are employed by traditional employers of actuaries (e.g. insurance/reinsurance companies, pension consultancies) but who have moved to roles which haven’t traditionally been occupied by actuaries (e.g. sales, marketing, IT, underwriting, customer services, strategy/innovation etc.)

- Mairead O'Mahony - Pensions
