The Actuaries Institute has appointed Daniel Smith as 2014 Institute president, taking over from former president John Newman.  

Smith, who was appointed as vice president in 2012, will be joined by former Actuary of the Year Estelle Pearson as senior vice president and Lindsay Smartt as vice president. 

"As well as maintaining a strong representation in traditional areas such as insurance, actuaries are increasingly shifting into non-traditional areas such as banking, data analytics, media strategy, natural resources and public health," Smith said.  

"These will be key areas we address in 2014 supported by refreshed education and development programs." 

Smith, Pearson and Smartt will work with incoming Actuaries Institute CEO David Bell to educate businesses and government around the long-term value of actuaries for a range of challenges. 

Bell, previously Australian Bankers' Association chief executive, was appointed as the Institute CEO in November last year. 

Smith is a member of the Institute Council and is a director of actuarial consulting and analytics firm Taylor Fry.  

Pearson was appointed senior vice president this year and is poised to be Institute president in 2015. She is currently councillor of the Actuaries Institute and a managing director of actuarial and insurance consultants Finity.
