Dutch pension asset manager APG has appointed Rob Schormans as CEO and Wim Koeleman as chief client officer (CCO) of APG Pension Services, and both will serve as members of its Executive Board.

Schormans has worked at APG since 2018 and held the position of managing director of pension operations prior to this appointment.

He also has over 20 years of experience in the financial sector and previously held various executive positions at ABN Amro and spent several years in politics.

Meanwhile, Koeleman joined APG in 2021, and prior to his appointment, he led the transition to the new pension system (Wtp) and managed the fund services department.

Before joining APG, he was a partner at PwC, where he headed the pension advisory practice, and held leadership and advisory roles at KLM/Blue Sky Group and VNO-NCW.

The appointments form part of the new strategy announced by APG at the end of 2025. The strategy focuses on two business units: Pension Services and Asset Management. These appointments lay the foundation for the management of the Pension Services business unit.

After completing the transition to the renewed pension system for the eight pension funds APG serves, APG Pension Services will be open to new clients.

Commenting on the appointments, APG Executive Board chair, Annette Mosman, said: “I am very pleased that with these appointments we can take the first steps toward the APG Pension Services of the future.

“Five of the eight pension funds we serve are already fully operating under the renewed pension system. We see significant momentum in the pension sector, making it logical to implement changes now that align with this new reality.”
