At Canada Life, I lead management of Par interest rate risk in ALM Operations, directing investment in fixed income assets to meet interest rate risk targets and capital requirements. Earlier, in Corporate Actuarial, I led regional stakeholders through quarter-end reporting and developed requirements for analytical and validation reports.

In IFRS17 Regulatory Change, I directed end-to-end systems testing and mentored a direct report creating a validation tool, helping complete the project ahead of schedule. In Strategic Research & Analysis, I forecasted group portfolio premiums and designed an intermediary model to align earnings and premium forecasts.
