My focus area is to develop and prove pricing methodology for non-life reinsurance. My colleagues all have different skill sets and various cultural and professional backgrounds which is very fascinating.FlorianMunich Re Germany, MunichSenior Actuary
Janett: Research and development – creating methods and tools for underwriters

Accompanying the full software development life cycle, Janett works with underwriters, data specialists and IT to keep Munich Re’s pricing software state of the art.
She tracks the latest in actuarial research and monitors the market, changes in underlying data and availabilities of assumptions. She considers how indicators – such as the loss history of a cedent’s portfolio or the rising popularity of financial constructs – influence pricing mechanisms. To outline specs of new features, Janett taps into the experience of underwriters in the field, while her work on the calculation kernel offers more mathematical challenges.
Janett also trains co-workers in pricing software and new features. To communicate actuarial content to her non-actuarial audience, she breaks down complex concepts into ideas that resonate – and spark productive exchange.

Vicky: Wearer of two hats – assessing risks both individually and at the macro level

Vicky leads the pricing function at Munich Re Canada. Vicky and her team support and collaborate closely with underwriting, client management, reserving, and finance. Their focus: to help safeguard the profitability of our existing portfolio whilst pursuing new growth opportunities.
Responsible for pricing in both the reinsurance and the primary-insurance branch, Vicky assesses business portfolios, group programmes as well as individual single risks. These tasks differ in focus, complexity and granularity.
Each requires different approaches, knowledge, and experience as well as an agile mind able to switch back and forth between challenging tasks throughout the day. Her job takes Vicky out of country about 2 to 3 times a year. She has just completed a 6-week secondment with our Sydney office where she supported MHA’s Casualty treaty July 1 renewals. Her insights into sites and markets are valuable, not only to her own work but to Munich Re’s innovation teams. As part of her process, she also contributes feedback on potential gaps in risks models to support rollouts of pricing tools. Vicky is an Associate of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries,
