Featured Speakers

Sally began her actuarial career in pensions consulting. Volunteering for the IFoA as an examiner led to her current role as Education Actuary, where she supports the IFoA’s education curriculum and the development & delivery of professionalism material. She has a particular interest in ethics, neurodiversity, and “all things Actuaries’ Code,” and has used her experience of supporting the communications examination to pen several novels.

Colin is one of the IFoA’s Education Actuaries. Colin mainly focuses on the later subjects including the CP1, CP2, Life insurance, and Health and Care examinations.

Mike is the IFoA's Director of Learning and brings a wealth of experience as a qualified actuary.

Mike qualified through the Faculty of Actuaries in 1992 after which he held positions at Southern Life, Momentum and Metropolitan Life. Since 2013, Mike has been Chief Executive Officer at the Actuarial Society of South Africa (ASSA). The IFoA and ASSA have a close working relationship, with ASSA having benefited significantly over the years from the IFoA’s education and, more recently the IFoA has adopted ASSA’s banking specialist exams.
