My Background 

Neil Dissanayake

Founder of Planet Positive Planning

Neil Dissanayake headshot

I kicked off my career with a first-class mathematics degree from Oxford University. I then qualified as an actuary at a leading insurance company, before joining an influential and respected actuarial consultancy.

​

I have worked as a consultant with major financial institutions to develop pension products that deliver sustainable lifetime income and protect retirees from volatile investment markets. I have managed complex derivative portfolios for insurance companies, ensuring they can pay out on guaranteed pensions. I have also contributed to industry thought leadership on how insurers can adapt to a changing world and support the Net Zero transition. I continue to work part-time as an actuarial consultant, helping to deliver innovative products that manage financial risk for retirees.

​

I founded Planet Positive Planning to empower everyday people to take control of their financial future, live the life they want, and positively impact the planet. Using my wealth of experience and insights, I am hoping to catalyse others into taking positive action.
