After eight and a half years as Division Chair of Zilveren Kruis, Georgette Fijneman has decided to explore options for taking her career in a new direction in the summer of 2026, Achmea said in its press release.

Georgette Fijneman joined Achmea in March 2016 as Director of Income Protection insurance and member of the board of the Non-Life division. She was appointed Division Chair of Zilveren Kruis as of 1 August 2017.

“Georgette has made a major contribution to realising Achmea’s strategy and to the social domain of ‘Bringing healthcare closer’. With great dedication and a clear vision, she has left her mark on the growth and innovation of our health insurance business. Furthermore, she has actively committed herself to improving healthcare in the Netherlands, including by contributing to the national healthcare agreements. She has likewise focused on important themes such as skin cancer prevention, mental health and the role of employers in the health of their employees. In doing so, she has shaped the role of Zilveren Kruis as market leader: by engaging in these themes and speaking out on relevant issues”, commented Bianca Tetteroo, Chair of the Executive Board of Achmea.

“Georgette has consistently proven to be a skilled and committed leader. We are especially grateful for her commitment to Achmea and Zilveren Kruis and for her commitment to healthcare in the Netherlands. We regret her departure but respect her decision. We look forward to continuing our collaboration in the coming months and wish her every success and all the best for the future”, said Robert Otto, member of the Executive Board and responsible for Health Netherlands.
