Hi I’m James and I launched the Actuarial People podcast in August 2023.
I’ve been working with actuaries in one way or another since 2005, and have always been seeking new ways to add value to the profession.
Actuarial People addresses a key issue in the market – the level of difficulty faced by actuaries in truly understanding what it’s like to work for other companies.
Actuarial People is available for free wherever you download your podcasts, and I hope you find it useful!
With the Actuarial People podcast, my aim is to give you the best possible insight into the actuarial profession, and unique access to the fantastic people who work within it.
Experienced Actuaries: If you’re anything like me, you’ll know lots of people who do a similar job to you. However, 95% of them either work for the same company as you, or did so in the past. Tune in to get to know some of your peers beyond your personal network & across all sectors, and boost your understanding of what other actuaries are experiencing.
Aspiring Actuaries: Whether you’re about to choose your degree subject or are approaching your final exams, getting a feel for what life is like as an Actuary can be tricky using the available online resources. Subscribe to Actuarial People for weekly conversations with real actuaries, and find out what the career path is really like!
Each week I’ll speak with a UK Actuary. Some work in pensions, others work in other areas such as life insurance, general insurance, investments and risk. Each guest is unique, experience levels range from very senior to a few years into their career, and listeners will get a real sense of the diversity of people and career paths you can follow.
