Meet The First African Woman To Head The UK Actuaries Institute

Zimbabwe has so many roses blooming all over the world. Can you believe that our very own Marjorie Ngwenya became the first African woman to be appointed president-elect of the UK’s Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) ?

Zimbabwean born Marjorie is one of our role models in Zimbabwe, she is the first person not based in Britain to ever hold the position, isn’t this amazing?  She is currently the Chief Risk Officer for Old Mutual’s African business unit and in June next year, she will take up the role of president.

She said the profession is continuing to expand its reach across the globe and she is proud to be the first IFoA president to be based outside the UK .

“I am looking forward to continuing the important work done by those who have held the role before me and to bringing the benefits of actuarial science to more people around the world. The actuarial profession is continuing to expand into new disciplines and I look forward to contributing to this impressive work to move the profession forward,” she added.
