The Strategic Pivot: Actuaries in FP&A

[on-hold music] Welcome to The Strategic Actuary, an SOA podcast about how actuaries can expanding their impact across a business.

I'm Jun Di, FSA, MAAA, and a director in FP&A at a major public insurance carrier.

Today, I'm joined by my manager, John, our VP and head of FP&A.

Now, actuaries are much more embedded in the FP&A process.

So what has drive the change?
