• Develop and apply advanced actuarial methodologies (stochastic reserving, frequency‑severity modeling, tail factor and trend analyses, diagnostic tools) to assess reserve adequacy and volatility.
• Translate technical findings into clear, actionable recommendations for leaders in Commercial Lines, NWAG, Claims, and Finance, highlighting key drivers, risks, and alternative scenarios.
