Organising Committee

Vivian Tse is a Partner at EY and has more than 15 years of experience in general insurance and injury schemes.  During that time, Vivian has been heavily involved in scheme reviews and change processes in multiple jurisdictions, covering regulatory considerations, premium system design as well as the claims side.  Secretly, she would love to see steps towards a harmonisation of schemes, to the extent it improves outcomes for injured people and the community.  

She was also involved in accident compensation schemes when working at Allianz and PwC. For a number of years she went off to become a non-actuary and worked in infrastructure and project finance.

When stating her occupation as an actuary at US border control, she was once mistaken for an actress (in LA so it made sense) and another time for an estuary (yes, a geographical formation)…so now she tells people she is an accountant, but she felt safe to disclose her true occupation to attendees of the IDSS.

Ben Edwards

Ben has worked within the injury and disability industry for the better part of 15 years, first as part of pwc’s actuarial team and over the past 8 years as part of Quantium, where he leads Quantium’s personal injury capability. Ben’s team supports Quantium’s clients across a spectrum of domains – from data and analytics strategy, to the design and build of data-driven solutions for bespoke industry problems. He has been a member of the organising committee for both the 2019 and 2021 Injury and Disability Scheme Seminars – and can confirm that any doubts the committee had about himself as a speaker, were more than offset by their trust in his co-presenter.

He has advised on issues relating to reserving, pricing, portfolio monitoring, capital management and benefit design.
