About Benjamin

Data is only valuable for the decision it enables, and that's where I come in.

An actuary by training, now a Data Scientist, I have been supporting insurers, brokers, mutuals, and companies in other sectors on their data projects since 2023.

Over my eight years in insurance, I saw many organizations possess valuable data without really exploiting it, for lack of time or method.

This is exactly what I'm here to unlock.

My added value stems from a rather rare dual skill set. The rigor of an actuary, mindful of what a figure commits to, and the agility of a data scientist, who knows how to make it speak. Specifically, I can intervene on:
• Pricing and profitability monitoring of insurance products (P&C, health)
• Machine Learning models for churn, multi-equipment, and scoring
• Fraud detection through anomaly detection
• Climate risk assessment of a portfolio by geolocation
• Data industrialization, from ETL to data lakes and management dashboards

I work both independently and as support for your teams, on short, targeted missions as well as in-depth support, remotely or on-site. My approach was born in insurance, but it applies wherever data influences a decision, from telecom to services.
Do you have a specific need or a persistent challenge? Describe it to me, and I'll quickly tell you how I can help.

We had the pleasure of collaborating with Benjamin on a project concerning the detection of anomalies related to fraudulent practices in health insurance. Thanks to his dual training as an actuary and data scientist, Benjamin was able to establish an essential link between our operational business teams and our Data team, thus facilitating smooth and effective collaboration between these two groups. His mastery of business issues and data techniques, combined with his interest in the subject and his professionalism, led to convincing results on our project.
