Arlington, Va. – April 2, 2019 – The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) has selected Ran Guo, FCAS, as its first-ever China-based staff actuary. In this new role as director of international relations, Guo will work to strengthen, develop, and engage the CAS’s community of actuaries in China and the Asia region.
