The IFoA is delighted to announce that Dr Louise Pryor has been confirmed as the next president-elect.
Dr Pryor will assume this role in June 2020 as Tan Suee Chieh becomes president, and will serve as IFoA president from June 2021.
Dr Pryor has had a varied career as an actuary, academic, software development manager and risk consultant. She lectured in artificial intelligence at the universities of Birmingham and Edinburgh before returning to the actuarial world as a software risk consultant.
She was director of actuarial standards at the Financial Reporting Council until 2011, where she led the development of the UK’s suite of Technical Actuarial Standards. She now specialises in climate risk and sustainability, and is a director of Callund Consulting, chair of the London Climate Change Partnership and a director of the Ecology Building Society.
Dr Pryor said: “Throughout my career I have always relied on and been grateful for my actuarial foundation, which has proved invaluable in many different contexts.
“I am thrilled to be elected as future president of the IFoA, and look forward to supporting the IFoA as it provides opportunities for others to have equally varied careers and for actuaries to continue to contribute positively to society.”
