Candidate Biographical Sketch

Stuart serves as a member of the CAS Climate Index Working Group and the Extreme Events Committee of the Academy. He recently retired from his position as Senior Pricing Actuary for Swiss Re America, Commercial Solutions, where he provided actuarial expertise in pricing commercial property business, primarily in the United States.

Throughout his career, Stuart has specialized in property insurance pricing matters. He was involved in developing early catastrophe models, both for earthquake and hurricane perils and has published papers and articles on catastrophe risk measurement and management.

Stuart has also worked for various types of insurance entities, including a rate advisory organization, small and large insurance companies, a reinsurance broker, an actuarial consulting firm, a managing general agent, and a reinsurance company.

Stuart graduated from the Illinois Institute of Technology with a degree in fire protection engineering.

 

The Academy’s mission is to serve the public and the U.S. actuarial profession. My service on the Board will allow me to:

help ensure that the Academy continues to provide well thought-out advice and counsel to the public and to decision-makers in public policy areas where actuarial analysis can help inform the debate. My background is most useful in casualty issues, such as the National Flood Insurance Program, but I recognize the critical importance of our work in other areas, such as Social Security. I will strive to assure that the Academy continues to be viewed as a go-to source of objective information for the public good.
