Actuarial Talk: Richard Dixon
Q: Are you an AI optimist or pessimist?
He is an optimist about AI, predicting job evolution rather than elimination, with a historical parallel to industrial shifts showing net employment stability or growth.
Actuarial Talk: Richard Dixon
Q: And how do you approach hiring from other industries into insurance?
Richard emphasizes looking for resilience, teamwork, intellectual curiosity, and strong communication; he values non-insurance experience and even mentions roles like waiting in retail as evidence of transferable skills.
Actuarial Talk: Richard Dixon
Q: So let's go back. Can we start at the early days, your school days or university days?
Richard discusses his early love of maths, his Cadet involvement, and the path from grammar school through engineering intentions to the Army, setting the stage for his later switch to actuarial work.
Actuarial Talk: Dan Gelderd
Q: What inspires your current work with Actuarial Collaborative Technology?
Dan aims to accelerate Python adoption in actuarial work by pre-building tools and methods and leveraging an open, shared ownership model to reward contributors, enabling scalable, licenseable products while maintaining collaborative innovation.
Actuarial Talk: Dan Gelderd
Q: What was EMB like in its early days?
EMB was like the wild west where young actuaries were expected to build, code, and deliver to clients with relatively little red tape, which accelerated learning and ownership but was very different from more controlled consulting environments.
