Body Text
Aegon, a provider of life insurance, pensions and asset management services, has put forward Marco Keim as its nominee to the Supervisory Board of a.s.r. The appointment would see Keim take over from Lard Friese as a non-independent member, reflecting Aegon’s position as a significant shareholder with an interest of roughly 24% in the Dutch insurer. The nomination follows the announcement in December 2025 that Friese would step aside from the role in order to focus on overseeing the transfer of Aegon’s head office and legal base to the United States. The change is part of a broader shift in the group’s strategic direction. Shareholders of a.s.r. are due to vote on the proposal at the company’s Annual General Meeting on 20 May 2026. Should the appointment receive backing, Keim would join the Supervisory Board immediately after the meeting and serve until early July 2028, in line with the existing agreement governing the relationship between the two companies. Keim brings decades of experience in financial services and is regarded as well equipped to represent Aegon’s interests. He currently leads Aegon’s international operations and sits on its Executive Committee. His earlier roles include serving as Chief Executive of Aegon’s Netherlands business after joining the group in 2008, as well as heading Zwitserleven. Over the course of his career, he has also held senior marketing positions and taken on a number of supervisory responsibilities, giving him a broad perspective on the insurance sector, particularly within the Netherlands.
