Episode 14: Actuaries Contributing to Society with Martin Mulcare
“Everybody's got their own idea about legacy or how they want to be remembered, but I think one of the common themes is that people would like to think that the world is a better place for their being on earth.”
Martin Mulcare,
Experienced Actuarial Leader
Martin Mulcare is currently enjoying a portfolio of activities where the common theme is that he loves sharing ideas. This can take the form of a facilitator, a sounding board, a mentor or a company director.
His prior experience included work as a consulting actuary, a corporate actuary and a company executive. Many of you may have met him in his role as facilitator of the Professionalism Course from 2009-2019.
Martin is involved with a number of social purpose organisations including The Growth Project and Primary Ethics. He is a strong believer in the importance of balance in life.
In this interview Martin shares his reflections about:
Why contributing to society is so important to him,
The different types of contributions that actuaries make to society, and
Some practical ideas about how you can contribute to society right now.
