Outgoing editor Angus Macdonald, who has held the position since 2008, offered his congratulations: “The landscape for actuarial journals is evolving rapidly – open access, electronic publishing, software and machine learning. I am delighted that AAS is in such good hands to take it forward into a truly leading role.”

“I am honoured to take on the responsibility of leading AAS during such exciting times,” said Tsanakas. “I have learned a lot from Angus’s leadership and guidance over the last three years as an AAS editor. The journal already enjoys an excellent reputation and is on an upward trajectory; I aim to keep building on those successes.”
