Kathy Deverell-Smith has joined First Actuarial from Isio.
Deverell-Smith began working at Willis Towers Watson as an actuary. She first worked at Deloitte before joining KPMG.
Deverell-Smith says: “I’ve moved to First Actuarial because it’s clear that the firm shares my people-first outlook. That comes across in the way we prioritise the scheme members we serve, the trustees and employers we advise, and the wellbeing of the people we work with every day.”
“I like thinking outside the box and I’m not afraid of challenging the status quo. It looks like there’s a lot of freedom to think differently and innovate here, and that’s something that both the market in general and our client base really need right now.
“Although it’s early days, it’s clear First Actuarial has a keen sense of purpose. I’m looking forward to working with other like-minded actuaries in delivering exceptional value to clients. As First Actuarial continues to grow, my experience – which spans trustee and corporate work – should prove valuable.”
