Shawna Ackerman, MAAA, FCAS

Chief Risk & Actuarial Officer
California Earthquake Authority

Shawna Ackerman, MAAA, FCAS is the Chief Risk and Actuarial Officer for the California Earthquake Authority, which provides residential earthquake insurance to more than one million California households and administers the California Wildfire Fund.

Shawna enjoys volunteer work in the actuarial profession as a way to stay connected and give back and has served on the boards of the American Academy of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society and served as co-chair of the AAA Extreme Events Committee. She was chairperson of the Actuarial Standards Board, Catastrophe Modeling Task Force which drafted ASOP 38, Catastrophe Modeling (for All Practice Areas) which was adopted by the ASB in 2021.

Prior to joining the CEA, Shawna worked as a consultant. She began her insurance career at the California Department of Insurance. Shawna has lived on the West Coast her entire life, always within just a few miles of an earthquake fault (or two). The 1994 Northridge event impacted her personally—living in Santa Monica at the time gave her firsthand experience of the damage and disruption an earthquake creates. It also impacted her professionally, starting her on the path that led her to her working at CEA.
