NEWTON -- William James College announced today that it has named Needham resident Peter Horman to its board of trustees. 

Horman is the owner and Consulting Chief Actuary of Horman Mathematical and Actuarial (HMA) Solutions, Inc, a consulting firm committed to applying complex mathematical, actuarial, and data techniques to practical business problems.  

Previously, Horman was the Chief Actuary of a prominent regional health plan where he was responsible for leading the company through the Affordable Care Act transition. There, he led actuarial and underwriting functions, including financial forecasting, risk-based capital planning, and designing of provider risk contracts.
