The CAS Innovation Council is looking for innovators who have demonstrated the ability to apply actuarial skills and experiences to address complex business issues creatively.
The CAS has a proud reputation of developing innovative solutions for the insurance industry for over 100 years. Beginning with the formation of product pricing for workers compensation in the early 1900s, to fostering innovative research and applications in economic capital modeling, catastrophe management and predictive analytics, CAS members have been at the forefront of applying actuarial techniques in new and creative ways.
Help celebrate our innovative culture by volunteering as an Actuarial Innovation Ambassador.
Actuarial Innovator Ambassadors serve the CAS membership by presenting webinars through the Innovation Council’s profile series. These webinars educate CAS members on how innovation is used to expand the actuarial footprint in traditional and emerging practice areas. Following their webinar presentations, Actuarial Innovator Ambassadors are encouraged to share their stories in other ways, such as through articles in the Actuarial Review or the CAS Roundtable blog.
Our Work So Far
Actuarial Innovator Ambassadors who have presented to date include:
- Serhat Guven, who shared how innovation is used to expand the actuarial footprint in the emerging predictive analytics practice areas.
- Jason Harger, who shared how the principles of innovation are applied in catastrophe management.
- Melissa Salton, who shared how the principles of innovation are applied in the development of an ERM framework for U.S. P&C insurers.
- Mike Schmitz, who discussed how the principles of innovation are applied in credit risk analysis.
We are also excited to let you know that John Welch, FCAS, president and CEO of XL Reinsurance America, will be presenting an innovation profile series webinar on the CEO’s perspective on innovation in December.
