Bouwinvest proposes to appoint Henk-Dirk de Haan as new CFRO

Bouwinvest Real Estate Investors proposes to appoint Henk-Dirk de Haan as its new Chief Financial & Risk Officer (CFRO) effective 1 October 2023, when he will succeed Rianne Vedder. Henk-Dirk joins Bouwinvest from a.s.r. real estate, where he is also CFRO.

Rianne Vedder has been responsible for Finance and Risk Management at Bouwinvest since 2019. After four years in this role, Rianne has decided to follow a different path. With the proposed arrival of Henk-Dirk, Bouwinvest will continue the course set out by Rianne. Mark Siezen, CEO at Bouwinvest: “Rianne has played a particularly important role in the further professionalisation of Bouwinvest in recent years. We will miss her dedication and commitment to Bouwinvest enormously. But I am very pleased that we can now welcome Henk-Dirk, a seasoned CFRO in the real estate investment world, as a worthy successor.”

Henk-Dirk has served as CFRO at real estate investment manager a.s.r. real estate since 2012. In this position, he was statutory director and managed around 35 employees in a number of departments, including Accounting & Reporting, Business Control & Taxation Analyses, Fund Control, Tax and Risk Management. At Bouwinvest, Henk-Dirk will focus on the continued expansion of the organisation in the same working areas, in line with the company’s objectives. Henk-Dirk has worked in finance & control since 1992, including positions at SNS Property Finance, Bouwfonds Property Finance and Hollandsche Beton Groep.

“With Henk-Dirk’s background and experience, Bouwinvest will now take the next steps towards the creation of a future-proof real estate asset management platform”, says Jos Nijhuis, the chairman of Bouwinvest’s Supervisory Board.

Henk-Dirk de Haan: “I am really looking forward to taking up my new position at Bouwinvest, where my challenge will be the further professionalisation of Bouwinvest's future-proof organisation and helping the company to realise its (international) growth ambitions in the coming years. And off course looking forward in meeting and working with my new colleagues”.
