With his “natural curiousity about the ebbs and flows of the economy” Jevon had his heart set on economics while he was still at Saltus. Pursuing economics, finance and banking at Nottingham Trent before completing his master’s degree in computer science, he took his skills back to Bermuda beginning his career as a world catastrophe analyst at Allied World. Now a member of Renaissance Re’s credit department, his ambitions are to progress to Underwriter and eventually senior vice president.
He said, “Having a mentor that can give you guidance when you’re first getting into the industry is one of the most valuable assets you can have. Growing up in Bermuda, you can’t avoid hearing how essential IB is to our economy. There’s something for everyone in this industry. Not everyone is an underwriter or actuary. It’s a vast industry with so many different classes of business – whether you’re interested in natural disasters, technology, renewable energy, marine insurance. There’s something that could suit every single person’s interest.”
