Robeco is simplifying its senior management structure. The top management organ, previously the Executive Board, will become the Management Board consisting of representatives from across the organization and led by CEO George Möller. The Management Board will include the heads of the business units Robeco Asset Management (RAM), Robeco Alternative Investments (RAI) and Robeco Direct, the CFO and a member at corporate level responsible for international operations. Reporting lines will thus be shortened, the firm's management will be closer to the business and the heads of the business units will be collectively responsible for the functioning of the entire group.
New positions
The present head of Robeco Direct, Niek Molenaar, will lead the RAM business unit. His successor will be hired externally. Sander van Eijkern of RAl and the CFO Constant Korthout will remain in their current positions. Stefan Bichsel will on a corporate level be responsible for international operations, including Robeco USA. Further details of staffing will be given at a later date.
