The Dutch national gambling operator, Nederlandse Loterij, has appointed Ageeth Bakker as its Chief Financial & Risk Officer (CFRO).
Since 2019, Ageeth Bakker was CFRO and a member of the Executive Board of Bovemij Group. Last week, she stepped down from that financial institution in the mobility sector, which specialises in insurance, guarantees and data services. Prior to that, Bakker was Chairperson/Managing Director of Onderlinge Waarborggroep Centramed. She also worked at Achmea Group for 13 years, six of which were in various executive positions; including as Director of Finance, Risk and Supply Chain Management at Centraal Beheer and Financial Director of Avéro Achmea.
Raymond Knops, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Nederlandse Loterij, said: “The Supervisory Board is pleased to welcome a highly experienced executive like Ageeth Bakker as CFRO of Nederlandse Loterij. Her extensive expertise in finance and risk and a career in regulated sectors are an excellent fit for this board position. With the arrival of Ageeth Bakker, the board is at full strength to further realize Nederlandse Loterij’s strategic ambitions as the most responsible gambling provider and the largest driver of sports and physical activity.”
Ageeth Bakker said: “What particularly appeals to me about Nederlandse Loterij is the combination of a strong social mission and a leading position in the gambling sector. With ten trusted brands, Nederlandse Loterij offers players a safe and responsible range of lotteries and online games of chance, the proceeds of which benefit society. I am happy to contribute to that. I look forward to working with the Board and all colleagues to continue building a successful and future-proof organization, so that we can continue to increase our social contribution.”
