Founder and Managing Director (MD) of SG Actuarial Consultancy, Saroja Gunatilleke won the “45 Under 45 Leadership Excellence” Platinum Award 2024 awarded by the Global CEO Forum recently.
SG Actuarial Consultancy (Pvt) Limited provides actuarial and risk management consultancy and training services. The Company has grown its reach significantly in the past few years. SG Actuarial has engaged with 12 companies in five countries for consultancy services. For training services the reach has been far greater with participants registering from 91organisations in 20 countries.
Actuaries are professionals who attempt to make financial sense of future risks and uncertainties.
Saroja Gunatilleke said, “Our Consultancy help organisations not just in the insurance field and indeed we have engaged with banks, finance companies, wealth management companies, regulators, stockbrokers, audit firms, and software developers mainly for training.
“My broad work experience helps these engagements. And the great reviews we receive encourage us to keep expanding our reach both locally and overseas,” she said.
Gunatilleke is also interested in creating awareness and developing the actuarial profession in the country and does career talks for universities and schools.
She hopes this award inspires maths students to follow Actuarial Science which is a lucrative, well-respected career with worldwide opportunities.
SG Actuarial also offers introductory courses for students to see if this is the correct career path for them.
