Neel is an Associate Director at WTW, working in the Retirement Team.

Neel began his actuarial career in Kenya before moving to the UK. We discuss everything from how he discovered the actuarial profession, securing his first role, progression quickly into a management position and his reasons for seeking a move to the UK. We explore some of the differences between working in pensions consulting in Kenya vs London, his experiencing of interviewing for UK roles and why he chose to join WTW.

Neel also shares his views on the importance of finding the right balance between work, the actuarial exams and personal life during the early stages of his career.

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!
