Ali L., Actuarial Senior Analyst
"The AEDP’s structured networking opportunities, business-unit spotlights, and abundant exam support make learning opportunities endless. Substantiating the outstanding professional infrastructure of the AEDP are the intangibles: a community of brilliant peers who double as friends, accessible and influential leadership, and ample opportunities to get involved in community service, recruiting, and our internship program.”
Victor Z., Actuarial Lead Analyst
"It has been a terrific growth journey to be a part of AEDP and the broader Cigna community. I was able to quickly complete all the Society of Actuaries exams thanks to AEDP’s amazing exam support. Rotations in different departments have helped me to deepen my analytical skills and business acumen. Additionally, Cigna has been a fertile land for me to grow my leadership skills."
Nikaya Smith, Actuarial Senior Analyst
“I was introduced to the International Association of Black Actuaries (IABA) through a Cigna Actuary that interviewed me for a summer internship in our Bloomfield office. Cigna has demonstrated its commitment to IABA by becoming a member of their Corporate Advisory Council. It has been rewarding to represent Cigna at the IABA Annual Conference and various events throughout the year."
Vicki A., Product Strategy Senior Director
“The AEDP provides so many opportunities to learn and grow as an actuary and business professional. I’ve personally benefitted from roles and experiences that have helped me leverage past learnings while challenging me to build out new skillsets. The result – a win-win for me and the business. I’ve also been able to develop so many relationships and friendships that continue to help me in my career, and to make the job fun!”
