Further to this post, I'm very pleased to have been re-elected to the Council of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries for what will now be my third term  (for 3 years from 2019 to 2022).  Many thanks to all those who supported me, and indeed all those who took part in the election, either by voting or standing as a candidate.  It is an honour to have been part of a very strong field of candidates, and to be joining a very strong and diverse Council and Executive team.

I look forward to helping the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, our members all around the world, and actuaries generally, to play the very significant part that I believe we can in helping businesses, organisations and individuals to make the most from artificial intelligence and big data, in an ethical way, in all types of business areas.  The IFoA's forthcoming new Certificate in Data Science (announced at this week's AGM by incoming President John Taylor) is a very exciting new development and I am looking forward to finding out more as I rejoin Council.
