CERA Thought leaders

The IFoA first issued this qualification in 2010 to actuaries who passed the ERM examination. However in 2012, the CERA Board, the international organisation overseeing the qualification, gave special permission to the Institute and Faculty to award the CERA qualification to a small number of actuaries who have demonstrated significant levels of experience and expertise in the field of ERM.  

The ten actuaries who have been given this award are:

• Neil Cantle (Principal and Consulting Actuary, Milliman)
• Seamus Creedon (Consulting Actuary and Non-Executive Director)
• Dean Dwonczyk (Chief Actuary, Catalina Holdings)
• Andrew Hitchcox (Chief Risk Officer, Kiln)
• Malcolm Kemp (MD, Nematrian & Adjunct Professor, Imperial College London)
• Colin Ledlie (Group Chief Risk Officer, Standard Life)
• Kathryn Morgan (Policy Implementation Manager, Financial Services Authority)
• Paul Sweeting (MD, JP Morgan Asset Management & Professor of Actuarial Science, University of Kent)
• Elliot Varnell (Consulting Actuary, Milliman)
• Colin Wilson (Technical Director and Head of Investment & Risk, Government Actuary’s Department)
• Philip Scott, President of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries said:

This award not only recognises the major contribution these individuals have made to thought leadership in the field of Enterprise Risk Management, but also their commitment to embedding ERM within industry practice.
