Perr&Knight Adds Texas Actuary

California-based insurance support services firm Perr&Knight announced that James Vallee has joined the firm as a consulting actuary in the company’s Fort Worth, Texas, office

With the addition of Vallee, Perr&Knight broadens its capabilities to include Accident & Health actuarial consulting services. Previously, with its 20-plus Fellows and Associates of the Casualty Actuarial Society, Perr&Knight’s actuarial consulting services were limited to property/casualty lines of insurance.

With an accredited health actuary on staff, Perr&Knight will now assist both P/C and Life and Health insurance companies with developing, pricing, and filing their Accident and Health products. Perr&Knight now also provides actuarial services, including reserve calculations and stop loss analyses, to companies who self-insure their Employee Benefit programs.

Before joining Perr&Knight, Vallee, who has 15 years of insurance and consulting experience, was the accident and health pricing and product development actuary at HealthMarkets in North Richland Hills, Texas.

Vallee became a Member of the American Academy of Actuaries in 2002 and a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries in 2007.
