Douglas E. Newton
Experience
Doug worked for Coopers & Lybrand for 10 years in the casualty actuarial practice. While there, Doug developed a program called Exhibitmaker (now called ReservePro and owned by Milliman), a loss reserve analysis system that has become the industry standard. He also worked on a number of specialized programming assignments for individual clients while at Coopers & Lybrand.
Doug's experience also includes a number of years outside of the actuarial field. These include four years working on a text processing application—specifically, the encoding, decoding, and search aspects. That product is now the market leader in its field. Doug also spent two years working on a point-of-sale and inventory control system for large entertainment venues such as stadiums and arenas.
Doug works on a wide range of assignments. His expertise is especially useful in assignments where performance and/or dynamic features are particular concerns.
