Milliman is an independent actuarial and consulting firm founded in 1947, with offices in major cities across the globe and clients spanning the public and private sectors. The firm has operated for more than 75 years, serving insurers, healthcare organizations, governments, and employers worldwide. It remains privately owned and managed by its principals.
The firm's work spans five broad domains: insurance, financial services, healthcare, life sciences, and employee benefits. Across these, Milliman applies actuarial methods and advanced technology to problems such as market volatility, longevity risk, climate and extreme weather exposure, rising healthcare costs, and access to financial protection. Clients range from multinational insurers to public-sector bodies and large employers.
Technology plays a central role in how Milliman delivers its work. The firm's technical staff combine domain expertise in actuarial science with applied work in healthcare technology, insurance technology, and life sciences, among other areas. Principals are selected for both technical and business acumen, and the firm positions objectivity and professional rigor as defining characteristics of its practice.
