Laura Hobern

I enjoy working closely with clients to advise on a broad range of actuarial and risk matters. Having previously worked directly for (re)insurers, I bring a wide-ranging perspective spanning reserving, pricing, capital, mergers and acquisitions due diligence, risk management, validation, Part VII transfers, IFRS 17, portfolio analysis and management reporting.

I have led projects across personal and commercial lines, as well as within the Lloyd’s market, and hold both a Lloyd’s Syndicate Actuary practising certificate and a Chief Actuary (Non-Life with Lloyd’s) practising certificate.

I am particularly interested in enhancing the value actuaries deliver to the business, through pricing strategy, portfolio analytics, and improvements to reserving processes.

Beyond client work, I serve as Deputy Chair of the London Market Actuaries’ Group (LMAG) and as the DEI representative on the IFoA’s General Insurance Practice Board. I also volunteer with several charities focused on improving social mobility.
