VUW Women in Tech Profiles

As an analyst, I crunch the data that supports the team's ideas while preparing the material we present to clients.

I work at an actuarial and data analytics consulting firm. Our work is project-based and our clients consist of insurers, reinsurers, Government agencies and corporates.

Aspects of internal business processes are things that my degree has given me background on, so I have supplemented my role, but it’s been more of a learning experience so far.

Some of the most important skills are being able to get on with people, a hunger to learn and being open to new experiences.

The opportunity to work closely with senior executives across a broad range of companies is a fantastic opportunity as a junior and a unique element of this job.

Daily work is quite varied – clients can range from large self-insurers to overseas insurance start-ups to local listed insurers.

I love that working in Marketing can also mean collaborating with other agencies where you are exposed to new creative and insightful practices. Plus, the occasional working long lunch is always nice.
