Lenz Lee

Confident, self-starting person who can pick up a role quickly and contribute whilst always trying to make a difference with efficiency. Throughout my career, I have been involved in various aspects of both insurance and reinsurance, from facultative to treaty and even retail. My roles were all about gathering data, making sense of it and then presenting it to a wider audience.

In my times at Asia Capital Re and RSA, I came up with the operations to gather data for reporting and reinsurance purposes. During my various stints as pricing actuaries, I would have to use the data provided by cedants and brokers to come up with a price for the treaties. And lastly during my RSA stint and most recently AXA XL, I had to come up with reports for portfolio steering purposes.

In AXA XL, I used tools like Power Bi to generate these reports that are linked directly to the servers so the output was live.
