“Actuary by training, bridge-builder by choice.”
Joël KonéParis, France
OriginsMy career began in Brussels, the capital of Europe. Being there sparked a deep engagement with the European project, its ambition, its potential when nations choose to govern uncertainty together. I started as a young actuary, mastering reserving, reinsurance, capital requirements, and AI: the technical core of risk itself.
Turning pointThat conviction crystallized through the Club Jeunes Actuaires and the Young Actuaries Initiative. Coordinating an international network meant constantly translating, not just languages, but professional cultures and ways of thinking about risk. It reframed the profession: an actuary as a node in a global conversation about uncertainty.
TodayToday, I work at the intersection of risk and insurance, corporate strategy, and international relations, helping enterprises, institutions, and licensed professionals decode uncertainty together.
