Dutch pension asset manager APG has appointed Annemarie Mijer as chief finance and risk officer (CFRO) and member of its executive board.

Mijer will formally assume the CFRO role on 1 April 2026, following regulatory approval of her four-year appointment, and will join the executive board on 1 March.

She brings more than 25 years’ experience in risk management, finance and governance across banks, insurers and pension institutions, and has held senior leadership roles in highly regulated and complex environments.

Her previous positions include chief risk officer and statutory board member at several financial organisations.

After completing a degree in actuarial mathematics at the University of Amsterdam, Mijer began her career at ING Group.

She subsequently held senior risk and executive roles at NN Life Insurance, Delta Lloyd, ABN Amro and Athora Netherlands.

In addition to her executive career, she currently serves in several supervisory and advisory roles, including as chair of the supervisory board of Klaverblad Verzekeringen.

APG supervisory board chair, Peter Bommel, said the organisation was welcoming “an energetic and decisive professional with extensive experience in large-scale transformations” at a pivotal moment for the business.

He noted that APG was preparing for a significant transformation under its Strategy 2030 programme, which aimed to make the organisation faster, more efficient, and more agile to maintain its leading role in a rapidly changing pensions sector.

He also thanked outgoing CFRO, Maarten Blacquière, for his contribution in recent years.

Meanwhile, APG Group CEO, Annette Mosman, said she was “delighted” that Mijer would be joining the organisation.

She added that she looked forward to working with Mijer and colleagues to continue the transition to the renewed pension system and to strengthen APG’s leading position in the evolving pensions landscape.
