Board chairs, fellow strategists and event organisers: how to reach me

Three kinds of message are welcome here. A chair or nomination committee member of a listed company in agribusiness, food processing, agricultural machinery or water, weighing an independent director with insurance and risk experience, can begin with a short note on the company, the committees involved and the days a year expected. I will reply with the conflicts I would need to check, starting with any insurance, investment or shareholder link to Jiangheng Life. Strategy and actuarial colleagues at other insurers are welcome to compare approaches to pricing rates, bank partners or residence rights, provided neither of us brings company data. Organisers of actuarial, risk and elderly-care events can write with the question they want argued and the audience it is for.

I cannot discuss Jiangheng's unpublished results, solvency figures before publication, matters before the regulator, or individual policies and residence letters; policyholders should use Jiangheng's customer service line, which can act where I cannot. I am not considering executive roles. I read messages myself and reply within ten working days.
