Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Clarke is a UK-qualified actuary with 12 years' experience applying technical actuarial expertise to product development, reserving and stochastic modelling, now based in Vancouver as a permanent Canadian resident. He has a strong track record of modernising models and tooling—migrating legacy VBA/C++ ESG models to Python for a tenfold speedup and building valuation, pricing and reporting automation across multiple insurers. At Definity and Economical he has combined hands-on model development with clear communication of capital and reserving movements to stakeholders, and previously led methodology and market-risk database initiatives at Aegon. His background spans annuities, protection, group risk and pensions with hands-on SQL, Oracle and Prophet experience, plus practical software delivery from a year as a developer at Mango Markets. Nicholas blends rigorous quantitative training (Trinity College and UCD) with pragmatic engineering instincts, often translating complex models into efficient, auditable implementations. Colleagues can expect a detail-oriented modeller who also prioritises governance and explainability when moving models into production.
