Leadership Reflections with Ada Tong
Ada Tong is currently the Product Director of Property Data Solutions at Domain. She started her career as a GI actuary, before moving into analytics and data science, and most recently she has re-invented herself as a product manager.
Ada has worked in Asia and Australia and has worked in airlines, loyalty programs, banking, insurance, retail and property. It all sounds pretty diverse and random but the theme that pulls her career together has been "doing all the things that actually makes data useful".
In this interview, I asked Ada:
About her role as an actuary working for Domain
How her actuarial training helped her have a “non-traditional” actuarial career
Her advice on juggling work and life as you get more senior,
What she thinks actuaries can learn from other professions, and
Tips on becoming and being a great actuarial leader.
