Chartered Actuary: In Person

As more industries, sectors and businesses recognise the value of actuarial expertise, actuaries are finding more opportunities to apply their skills.

Here we meet some of the people who daily use mathematical and risk analysis skills, behavioural insights and business acumen to look at complex issues and help decide how to address them.

We’ll be sharing member stories from around the world on a regular basis, so keep an eye out for updates.

In Person profile: Masimba Zata, FIA C.Act

Masimba Zata’s actuarial career sprang, like many others, from a love of maths. But while it had a traditional beginning, he’s now working in a decidedly non-traditional field.

“My career started off in pensions, then went into insurance,” he says. “I worked for various companies before moving into the technology sector with Moody's.

“I’m now a subject matter expert in the development of actuarial software, with an active role in the development of software products as well as managing and supporting my team.

“I bring in industry knowledge from my own experience and from others in the insurance industry. I help to define the needs and requirements for developing and enhancing software products in the insurance space.”
