Paul Sweeting, IFoA President, said: “I am honoured to be taking on the role of President of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. It is an exciting time to be supporting our members and the profession and to represent the IFoA. The skills that actuaries need are constantly changing. Change brings with it opportunities. During my sessional term a priority for me will be making sure that we are equipping all actuaries with the skills to respond to these changes and access the opportunities they afford.
“Whether it is pensions, insurance, banking, investment, AI, infrastructure, climate or broader sustainability issues, actuaries can and must contribute. We have the technical ability, we have the communication skills, and we have the professional oversight that means people can rely on what we say. We have an obligation to be part of these big conversations and we must ensure that we are ready to take the opportunities as they arise.
“I would like to thank Kartina for her immense contribution as President over the past year, especially her role shaping the IFoA vision and the way she has driven member engagement and connection.”
Paul Lewis, IFoA Chief Executive Officer, said: “I would like to congratulate Paul Sweeting on becoming IFoA President. Paul has volunteered for the IFoA for many years and has a deep understanding of the topics that matter most to our members. I look forward to working with Paul to support and champion our members and their interests in order to advance the actuarial sciences. I extend my warmest thanks to Kartina Tahir Thomson for her hard work over the past twelve months. As well as her personal support to our work, Kartina’s focus on member experience and engagement has fostered closer collaboration between the IFoA and our membership. On behalf of all IFoA colleagues, thank you.”
David Currie, IFoA Board Chair, said: “Paul Sweeting’s experience and expertise will be invaluable as we navigate an exciting period of transformation and work together to bring the IFoA vision principles to life in our multi-year strategy for 2026 and beyond. I look forward to working closely with Paul over the next two years as we drive meaningful progress and innovation. I would like to express my appreciation to Kartina Tahir Thomson, for her impactful leadership and dedication.”
