John Manistre is a retired Canadian life insurance actuary and risk researcher.  John spent his university days studying applied mathematics and physics.  On becoming an actuary, he spent the first 20 years of his career doing traditional actuarial work such as product pricing and financial reporting  while working for a number of insurers in both Canada and the US.  During that time he taught himself financial engineering.   The second half of his career has been largely spent in the ERM space focusing on problems such as risk capital aggregation and the plethora of issues that arise when trying to implement market consistent financial reporting for a life insurer where many, if not most, of the instruments on the balance sheet are illiquid.  The Risk Adjusted Scenario Set is an idea that arose from that experience.

 

Over the years John has presented a number of risk related papers at Society of Actuaries’ ERM conferences.  They can be found on the SOA website.

Bozenna was President of Actuaries Institute Australia in 2010 and has been nominated as President-Elect for the International Actuarial Association for 2024.

Peter is the senior Life Actuary at KPMG South Africa. He has wide experience in commerce and consulting in actuarial and general management roles.

Peter is an enthusiastic and committed volunteer to the actuarial profession. He is currently a member of the IAA Executive Committee and Chair of the IAA Professionalism Committee and serves his local association, the Actuarial Society of South Africa in a number of roles and was President of ASSA in 2018-19.

Kathy’s full-time career spanned 35 years, primarily at two major insurers, Prudential (U.S.) and AXA Equitable.  Her focus has been in the areas of financial reporting, valuation, and risk management.  She is a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries, a member of the American Academy of Actuaries, and a Chartered Enterprise Risk Analyst.  She graduated from Lafayette College with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics.

Now retired from full-time actuarial work, Kathy continues to provide consultant services in the areas of risk management and insurance company regulatory issues.  She is heavily involved with volunteer service to the SOA, the IAA, and the American Red Cross.
