ACHMEA's AGM has appointed Roelof JOOSTEN as a member of the Supervisory Board. He succeeds Antoon VERMEER, who retired from his position last year after his maximum term of office. JOOSTEN's appointment is for four years and was approved by the Dutch Central Bank (DNB).

Between June 2015 and January 2018, Roelof JOOSTEN was Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of FrieslandCampina. He joined the dairy business in 2004 and became a member of its Executive Board in 2012. Joosten studied chemical technology in Groningen. After graduating, he began his career at Unilever, where he worked for almost 15 years before moving to Quest in 1998. Unilever sold Quest, a producer of fragrances and flavourings, to the British ICI shortly before JOOSTEN joined.
