Leni has a deep understanding of the financial services and corporate sectors, and extensive experience in transforming companies. She is well placed to contribute to Aegon’s Board and support the execution of the company’s strategy. I am also pleased to pass the chairmanship of the Board to David Herzog, whose wealth of leadership experience in insurance and asset management will be crucial to Aegon's continued success. Looking back on my tenure, it has been a privilege to contribute to Aegon’s transformation, which I am confident will continue under David’s capable leadership.”

I would like to thank Bill Connelly for his outstanding leadership and dedication to Aegon during his tenure as Chairman.
