In your view, what makes up the success of PRS?
Gathering the experience of every PRS actuary and performing unprecedented studies and workshops for other insurance professionals around the world.
What do you like most about having direct contact with customers?
Listening to their experience and needs always give me a guide to understand and help them find a solution providing a holistic view.
Successes and failures shape our lives. From which did you learn most?
From failures, because it obliges me to review the process to find out why it went wrong, learn from it and fix it.
