Congratulating her on being conferred Fellow status at one of the world’s premier institutes for actuaries, Ceylinco Life’s Managing Director and CEO R. Renganathan said: “Long term risk management and planning are critical in Life Insurance, and we are proud to employ the only practicing Sri Lankan with this qualification.”
