Chief Actuary

Lloyd’s is the world’s leading insurance and reinsurance marketplace, bringing together the world’s leading risk takers to advance global progress.

Being inclusive at Lloyd’s is integral to how we work — and how we deliver impact. We aim to build a diverse, inclusive environment that reflects the global markets we serve, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect and supported to reach their full potential. We take the risk by challenging traditional thinking and being proactive about inclusion.
