What I Do

Turn actuarial results into a clear story.

BMA and solvency reporting

Lead and review BEL, BSCR, EBS and solvency analysis, with emphasis on movement explanations, expectation setting, and management communication.

IFRS 17 implementation

Support system architecture, business requirements, ETL and subledger UAT, Prophet model updates, validation approach and financial impact analysis.

Market-consistent valuation

Apply ESG, stochastic modelling and option/guarantee valuation techniques across economic capital, Solvency II and with-profits reporting contexts.

How I Work

Evidence first. Judgement always.

Good reporting starts before the final model output arrives. I build expectations from economics, business events, assumptions and management actions, then test the result against that view.

My style is direct, analytical and practical: fewer decorative charts, more explanation of what changed, why it matters, and what should be watched next.

I am comfortable working across actuarial, finance, investment, risk, audit and senior management audiences.
