This list contains the details of senior people in finance and investment who have indicated a willingness to act as a mentor for members working in more traditional areas who are thinking of following a similar path. Before contacting a mentor whom you do not already know, please speak to Pat Rustem, email: patricia.rustem@actuaries.org.uk, tel: 020 7632 2187. Mentors take on a considerable amount of work and it is embarrassing for them - and for you - if they have to decline a request for advice.

More mentors will be appearing here in due course.
