Simon has spent most of his life in the corporate world. He worked for Aviva for 30 years, leaving in February 2022 to set up his own pricing and data science consultancy business, Brightfathom.  In his Aviva career, he spent the vast majority of his time pricing life insurance and general insurance business.  His career breakthrough was introducing full credit score into the car insurance pricing journey. This ultimately led to him being the Chief Underwriting Officer for Personal Lines business and the Chair of Aviva Insurance Services Limited.  Simon gets a huge sense of fulfillment from coaching, and wants to be remembered for helping people to achieve their life goals.  Simon lives with his wife, two (young) adult children and three dogs. He spends a lot of his spare time maintaining, and occasionally managing to sail, his boat.  His biggest claim to fame is turning down an invitation to have dinner with Elon Musk…  Our conversation we talk about how he found his way into the insurance business, what he took out of his long career within it and his desire to give back. From his experience of retirement planning he shares some fascinating insights about what people aspire to when looking forward to retirement versus what people who have been retired a while tend to end up doing. Simon brings a lot of warmth and humanity to the topic of being an actuary and I am delighted to be able to introduce you to him in this way. I look forward to hearing what resonates with you.  You can contact Simon via LinkedIn or via www.brightfathom.com  Why not follow us on Instagram @careerviewmirror where you can see a directory of all our episodes and comment on those you have enjoyed.    This episode of Career-view Mirror is brought to you by Aquilae.   Aquilae's mission is to Enable Fullfilling Performance in the auto finance and mobility industry, internationally.
