Professional experience

Her areas of focus are governance, pension administration including communications, outsourcing and pensions in the Caribbean region.

Since 1 august 2024, Ellen has also been employed by trade union FNV as a pension board member.
Considers her main duty
“Our pension fund is too small to continue on its own in the long term. That's why our board is looking for a future-proof solution that will safeguard the interests of all participants. Transferring our pension fund to another pension fund requires careful attention, particularly now that we are heading for new rules for pension funds. It is going to be a complex operation, but also an exciting one. And in the meantime, it is important that we keep our regular pension administration operations running properly.”
CDC message
Many of our participants have multiple pension pots. Check out the government's website mijnpensioenoverzicht.nl to get a quick overview of all your pensions. Will that be enough income for your retirement or should you take action to supplement your pension income?
