Loading player...
In this episode of Open Books, Pamela Hellig sits down with Nicky Patchett, an experienced actuary and Head of Actuarial Function for multiple Old Mutual entities.
Nicky shares insights from her career journey, her involvement in the actuarial profession, and her passion for justice and championing the interests of policyholders. In fact, a striking message emerges from her book selection – one of tolerance, understanding and focusing on the things that make people similar rather than what divides them.
She also talks about her family life, her recently found hobby of figure skating, as well as how books have both shaped and reflected her thinking and approach to life.
Nicky’s book picks:
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
I Heard the Owl Call My Name by Margaret Craven
Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books by Kirsten Miller
Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières
