P&C Only · No Life · No HealthYour analysis and work through the years helped make the company financially stable.Former CEO, Specialty P&C Carrier
I had the pleasure of working with Dave Horn for five years at a specialty programs insurer. I managed program development, underwriting and production. Dave led the team providing my group with analytical support for pricing, rate filings and ad hoc financial analysis. Over my career, I have observed that actuaries and ‘the business’ often seem to speak different languages and struggle to achieve a meeting of the minds. I never found that to be the case with Dave. Dave’s great gift is his ability to clearly explain his actuarial process, analysis and conclusions to ‘the business’ in terms that are understandable to non-actuaries. Dave also excels at building analytical tools for use by underwriters and business development staff to help guide them in making smarter fact-based business decisions. In short, Dave is an actuary who ‘gets the business’, and I highly recommend him.
Dave is an exceptional actuarial leader with deep expertise in both pricing and reserving. He brings a rare combination of technical strength, professionalism, and practical business judgment to every challenge. His work is always thoughtful, detailed, objective, and grounded in integrity, making him a trusted advisor and respected leader across organizations.
Sound numbers, told plainly, give leadership the room to make good decisions.The CCAC Practice Philosophy

Four commitments shape every engagement, from the first scoping call to the final delivered memo.
No junior hand-offs, no rotating account managers, no relearning your business each quarter. The FCAS who scopes the work delivers the work.
Findings translated for CEOs, CFOs, and boards, so the people accountable for the numbers actually understand the numbers.
Hourly or fixed-fee. No retainers, no minimums, no annual commitments. The work scales to fit the question on the table.
Fronting carriers, RRGs, captives, MGAs, and program managers: operations that need senior actuarial work on a cadence that matches their structure.
