Meet Chris Anderson!
This week on Actuarial People I'm delighted to be joined by Chris Anderson!
After a couple of internships in pensions consulting whilst at university, Chris began his actuarial career in life insurance with Standard Life. Today he is a Director and Head of Life Actuarial - Scotland at EY.
Chris gives incredible insight into his journey to date as an Actuary. We discuss beginning his career in life insurance, his path to qualification, his experience of career progression in the insurance industry, the variety of work he has had exposure to, the value of finding good mentors, how he developed his specialism in the Bulk Annuities market, his approach to posting on LinkedIn, and his experience of being a people leader.
Whether you are an aspiring actuary or have already begun your own journey, I hope you find this conversation useful!

Actuarial People
Hello and welcome to Actuarial People with James Turner, where each week I’ll be speaking with a UK Actuary.
My aim is to give you greater insight into the people behind the actuarial profession, and their personal career journeys.
We’ll cover things like why and how they became an Actuary, what they do on a day to day basis, how they balance work and exams with life, and how their roles have evolved over time.
So whether you’re an actuary yourself, or you’re aspiring to become one in the future, welcome and enjoy!
