About Brian Starnes

I started my actuarial career as an intern in the summer of 2002, joining the company full time in January of 2003 in a life pricing role. Since that time I have done most everything an actuarial employee could do in the life insurance area, from pricing, financial reporting, valuation, forecasting, experience analysis and model development. I had a great opportunity in 2012 to create and lead the centralized model development group in corporate actuarial where I was able to expand my knowledge base to include annuities and retirement plans business, as well as all the other facets of the business in which we participate. In September 2016, I moved back to the line of business, in life insurance, to lead the Performance Management and Analysis team for our individual and corporate life insurance areas, focusing on financial reporting and forecasting. In addition to traditional reporting and forecasting, I have had a great opportunity working across business functions on large tier 1 initiatives and play a role in strategic analysis. In 2018, I added additional scope to the team, taking on life insurance in force profitability management and analysis to meet the growing demands of regulatory and environmental challenges the life insurance industry faces.

    Led the newly formed centralized model development group responsible for maintaining the integrity of the ALFA corporate risk model. Over the course of 4 years, I was responsible for developing a model development framework, from project identification, prioritization, development, implementation, and delivery. The team completed development of many, many projects and defect corrections. I worked through a few audits of our processes and procedures to confirm compliance with industry and company standards. I drafted several proposals to enhance the assumption development and delivery process, which were approved as the working methodology for 2015 and 2016 2Q/3Q assumption work which enhanced our ability to deliver the models in a timely and accurate manner. I created transparency by managing the reporting of our processes, and progress, to the Model Risk Committee as well as to model users through touchbase meetings and modeling release notes. I worked across internal boundaries and across functions (with pricing, valuation, reporting, and implementation teams for all 3 major segments) to ensure the work we were doing was acceptable for their processes and use.
