Dutch financial services group Achmea has announced several changes to its Supervisory and Executive boards following its annual general meeting (AGM).

Hanno Mijer was appointed as a member of the Supervisory Board for a term of four years and will also join the Supervisory Board of Achmea Schadeverzekeringen N.V. 

Mijer began his career in the insurance sector at Aegon and subsequently worked as a partner at Watson Wyatt.

Over his career, Mijer has held various executive positions within Zurich Insurance Group, including CEO of Cover-More and CEO of Corporate Life & Pensions. He also has broad expertise in life, pension and general insurance, across both the retail and corporate markets.

In addition to Mijer’s appointment, the AGM saw Achmea Supervisory Board vice-chair, Wim de Weijer, step down after completing his term, having served as a board member since 2016. 

To replace De Weijer, the Supervisory Board elected Else Bos as vice-chair from among its members. The AGM also saw Supervisory Board chair, Jan van den Berg, reappointed for another two-year term.

The composition of the Supervisory Board is now as follows: van den Berg (chair), Bos (vice-chair), Tjahny Bercx, Antonio Cano, Miriam van Dongen, Lex Kloosterman, Nienke Meijer, and Mijer.

In addition to the Supervisory Board appointments, there were also changes to the Executive Board following the AGM.

The Supervisory Board formally reappointed Achmea chief risk officer and Executive Board member, Michiel Delfos, until 1 October 2026.

On that date, he will step down from his position and be succeeded by Rogier Peters in both his roles as chief risk officer and Executive Board member.

The newly composed Executive Board will comprise Bianca Tetteroo (chair), Michel Lamie (vice-chair and chief financial officer), Peters (chief risk officer), Daphne de Kluis, Robert Otto and Lidwien Suur.

Peters is an experienced insurance executive and an expert in risk management with an actuarial background. He has over 20 years of experience in the international insurance sector and has held the role of chief risk officer at MSIG Europe since 2020.

His career began in actuarial practice at Tillinghast Towers Perrin, Aegon and Fortis, and since then, he has served as chief risk officer at Ageas UK and Etiqa.

He studied Actuarial Science at the University of Amsterdam and followed supplementary courses in asset liability management and risk management.

Both Mijer’s and Peters’ appointments were approved by De Nederlandsche Bank, and Peters received a positive recommendation from the Central Works Council.
