Ted Goldman Named Senior Pension Fellow at the American Academy of Actuaries
Date
WASHINGTON — The American Academy of Actuaries is delighted to announce that Ted Goldman, an actuary with more than 35 years of retirement consulting experience, is its new senior pension fellow.
In this position, Goldman will help shape and communicate the Academy’s work on pension, Social Security, and other retirement security issues to the public, policymakers, and the news media.
“Retirement income issues are among the most consequential public policy issues facing Americans, and the U.S. actuarial profession will be well-represented by Ted, as he draws on his extensive actuarial experience to provide objective information about public policy solutions,” said Bill Hallmark, the Academy’s vice president of pension issues.
“It’s more important than ever that objective actuarial considerations guide the discussions and public debates surrounding retirement security, and I look forward to providing that perspective to support the Academy’s public interest mission,” said Goldman.
Most recently, Goldman was the leader of the U.S. retirement team with Buck Consultants in Washington, D.C. In that position, he was an innovator and champion of retirement readiness and financial wellness, creating an award-winning concept using automation and behavioral science features within a defined contribution plan. He spent the majority of his career with Towers Perrin (16 years) and Mercer (15 years), leading retirement practices in Houston and Washington. During his career he held many positions, including serving as the chief operating officer for Mercer’s North American retirement practice and as global leader of Mercer’s actuarial valuation centers.
Goldman begins as senior pension fellow with the Academy on Jan. 25, 2016.
