Pension fund experience
At PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) I was a partner in pension consultancy, with clients including NN and ING. I also held several management positions, including on the management team of the People & Organisation Business Unit and as a board member of Pensions, Actuarial & Insurance Services. Before joining PwC, I was a board member of pension fund Dijker van Dien. I have a legal background and was also trained in tax law.
Considers his main duty
The overhaul of the Dutch pension system means we will be facing some interesting challenges going forward. The social partners will have to agree on new terms and conditions for the pension plan. The employer and the pension fund will have to make workable agreements with regard to the execution of the new pension plan and the choices made. This will bring about major changes for the pension fund. Together with the board and board bureau, I will make every effort to ensure the transition is smooth and our communications are clear, all in the best interests of the participants.
CDC message
The pension you build up through your employers' pension plans will only account for part of your income later in life. You might need more to make ends meet when you’re retired. Many of the changes in your life and the choices you make now will have a major impact on your retirement income. That's why it makes sense to check your financial situation and spending habits every so often, determine your course and make or adjust your financial planning. We can help you in that process. Go to the Pension Planner or the Dutch government's website Mijnpensioenoverzicht.nl. Or sign up for one of the webinars we organise from time to time.
