Senior Vice-President and Chief Actuary, Sun Life Financial

 

Congratulations

You have chosen to join a profession that is rapidly evolving and that is rewarding, both intellectually and financially. New approaches to risk measurement and management, drawing more closely on the finance profession, are being developed and incorporated into the traditional actuarial framework. I believe you will find the actuarial profession to be a great platform from which to develop a successful career, whether you prefer the more technical, analytical aspects or more of a management track.

At Sun Life Financial, we have a long tradition of actuarial excellence, and top management recognizes the need for a strong actuarial community and a strong actuarial voice in financial business issues. Sun Life Financial is one of the largest global insurance groups, with operations in Canada, the U.S., Bermuda, the U.K. and Asia. The Canadian and U.S. operations include most major lines of business.

Sun Life Financial is on the forefront of emerging risk management techniques, such as asset liability management, enterprise risk management, stochastic pricing and reserving, embedded value analysis and dynamic capital adequacy analysis. All this provides our actuarial students with many varied opportunities for career development.

As Chief Actuary and member of the Senior Leadership Team, it is my goal to continue the development of an actuarial community that is a leader in professional excellence. I will continue to embrace leading-edge techniques, while partnering effectively with business management to create practical solutions to business and financial management issues. To do that, Sun Life needs to attract and retain the best and brightest talent that we can find.

We believe we can offer you outstanding opportunities to learn, grow and contribute. We have a talented actuarial community from which you will be able to learn. Sun Life Financial’s work environment can provide many paths for career development and success, and you’ll find that our student program includes attractive study time and other benefits and competitive rewards. Please consider joining our growing team!
