Alexandra Phillippi to depart PGGM's executive committee

Alexandra Phillippi is set to depart from her role as chief operations officer at the Dutch pension fund asset manager PGGM on 1 May 2026, as she wishes to devote more attention to her private life and non-executive responsibilities.

Phillippi has worked at PGGM since 2018 and, during her time, oversaw the integration of MN Pensioenbeheer and PGGM Pensioenbeheer in 2024 to form the largest pension service provider in the Netherlands, the preparations for the transition to the new pension system on 1 January 2026, and the steps taken in the area of customer focus.

Commenting on her departure, recently reappointed PGGM CEO, Edwin Velzel, said: "Alexandra and her team have done a fantastic job in recent years.

“She has faced major challenges, such as the Future Pensions Act (Wtp) programme for the pension administration organisation and taking over the PMT administration at a time when we were already busy preparing for the Wtp. The transition to the new contract for all our clients in 2026 can rightly be called a feat.”

He added that her is “very grateful” to Phillippi for her contribution during the eight years they have worked together and is “pleased” that the transition will be completed under her leadership.

PGGM will soon begin the search for a suitable successor for Phillipi.
