Professional experience
I have been working in the financial sector for 28 years. In my first position, I was a fixed income analyst in investment banking. From 1998 to 2006, I was a portfolio manager for fixed income portfolios of insurance companies and group pension plans. Then I was a strategic advisor within fiduciary management for 10 years. And from 2018, I lead the strategic advisory department within NN Group's investment office. Since May 2022, I am also a board member of NN CDC Pension Fund.

Area of focus
We do not yet know what direction we are going to take with our closed pension fund. That is why it is extra important to monitor the right balance is risks versus our investment return. Good investment decisions affect the level of (future) pensions to be achieved. We must remain strong, because a strong financial position is like electricity: when it fails, you only notice how important electricity is.

CDC message
We make our decisions for the future as balanced as possible. It is important that our participants and stakeholders can trust us and feel comfortable with the decisions we make.
