From calculations to leading delivery
Starting as a graduate, Sherya initially focused on technical calculations and supporting project teams. Reflecting on her journey so far, she says, “Over four years, I've progressed from doing the calculations, to reviewing them, to now owning the full delivery - including team management, client conversations, and assumption ownership.”
Along the way, she has developed not only technical expertise, but also leadership, communication and stakeholder management skills.
A culture that encourages ownership
One of the things that stood out to Sherya early on was the welcoming and inclusive culture. She highlights how approachable colleagues and managers are, creating an environment where people are encouraged to ask questions, take initiative and develop their skills.
“The culture is very motivating, it pushes you to take ownership and do better, while giving you the opportunities to grow.”, mentions Sherya.
Building skills for the future
WTW has supported Sherya throughout her actuarial qualification journey, providing study leave, exam funding and access to technical and leadership training.
Alongside formal guidance, informal mentorship has played an important role. Accessible senior colleagues and managers have provided guidance on both technical work and navigating client situations, helping her build confidence over time.
