The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries has announced that Nicola Draper has been elected as an Honorary Fellow.
The election was confirmed by an online member vote in July 2024.
Draper was nominated for an Honorary Fellowship in recognition of her services to medicine and public health, including her service as Co-Chair of the Covid-19 Actuaries Response Group. She is a leading expert in public health and associated mortality, morbidity, and longevity risk. In 2007, she co-founded the firm Medical Intelligence, which now provides ongoing research and support to actuaries from many of the leading consultancies, pension, and insurance companies in Europe and the US.
In early 2020, Draper joined the Covid-19 Action Taskforce and working party, as a prominent and founder member of the non-affiliated Covid-19 Actuaries Response Group. In 2021 she was awarded the IFoA President’s Award in recognition of her medical expertise and extraordinary commitment to the actuarial profession.
“I am delighted that Nicola has been elected as our newest Honorary Fellow,” said IFoA President Kartina Tahir Thomson.
“Her service to the actuarial profession, most notably during the Covid-19 pandemic has been exemplary and she consistently demonstrates the values of the IFoA in serving the public interest. I look forward to continue working with Nicola to further the actuarial agenda,” Thomson added.
