Editorial Team
At Actuaries Digital, our focus is to provide quality, relevant and timely content to our readership.
Our ambitious vision is to be the first port of call for the actuarial profession and for the people working in the industries being served by actuaries. We want to do our part in promoting the profession and be the platform for actuaries to showcase their talent and thought leadership for their industries.
When you arrive at your desk or pick up your laptop to begin a day’s work, we want to be the first website you visit to catch up with the news and views.
We’re also always keen to hear your feedback, so tell us what you think by emailing actuariesmag@actuaries.asn.au.
