The IFoA is delighted to announce that Alex Waite FIA C.Act has been confirmed as President-elect. Alex will assume this role at the Annual General Meeting on 9 July 2026 and will become IFoA President in summer 2027.
Alex was a partner at actuarial firm Lane Clark & Peacock (LCP) between September 1999 and December 2025. His role combined both executive management of the firm and advising company boards on pension scheme risks.
Alex’s career included working with large multinationals including lead pensions adviser on multi-billion-dollar corporate acquisitions as well as many of the UK’s largest pension risk transfer transactions. Since the adoption of Solvency II, Alex has specialised in providing risk consulting to some of the world’s largest insurance companies.
Alex has regularly volunteered with the IFoA including a decade supporting the teaching of CERA seminars as a Risk Practitioner. He joined IFoA Council in 2025 and is also a founding member of the new IFoA Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology Board.
He is the Chair of the AI group of the Association of Consulting Actuaries, and a member of The Pension Regulator’s Data & Digital Working Party.
Alex Waite, incoming President-elect said: “It's a privilege to be elected at a moment that genuinely matters for the profession. The world is more uncertain, more data-driven, and more reliant on automated decisions than ever - and this is home territory for us as actuaries. Over the next three years I want to serve our members well, and to make the case that strategic actuarial thinking is something the world urgently needs.”
