Today, Ageas announces that, with effect 1 June
2023, and subject to the necessary regulatory approvals, Wim
Guilliams will succeed Christophe Boizard who announced his
intention to retire as CFO Ageas after a tenure of more than 11
years.
With Wim Guilliams, the current CFO of Ageas’s
Belgian subsidiary AG Insurance, Ageas appoints an experienced
executive with extensive financial knowledge and someone very
familiar with the Group and the insurance sector.
Through the senior management positions he held
before in various financial groups, and having led the
implementation project of the new IFRS 17 accounting rules within
Ageas, Wim is fully equipped to successfully lead the Ageas Finance
community and to contribute to the further development of the
company.
Wim Guilliams joined Ageas in 2015 as CFO of AG
Insurance. Prior to this he held several executive and Board
positions within KBC Group in Belgium and Eastern Europe, and
within ING Insurance in Belgium.
As newly appointed CFO, Wim will also be
proposed as a member of the Ageas Board of Directors at the General
shareholders meeting of 17 May 2023. Wim’s appointment is subject
to the approval of the National Bank of Belgium.
As of 1 January 2023, Wim will be appointed
Deputy CFO of Ageas in order to initiate the transition with
Christophe.
AG Insurance also announced this morning that a
successor to Wim Guilliams as CFO of AG has been appointed. For

Hans De
Cuyper, CEO
Ageas: “I would like to take this
opportunity to thank Christophe Boizard for his outstanding
contribution in bringing Ageas to where it stands today. During his
tenure as CFO, Christophe built a solid financial team and has been
incremental in the launch of the reinsurance business. He also
successfully issued several debt programmes and managed to strongly
improve the Group’s financial ratings. Christophe is leaving us
with a strong financial basis from which the Group can further
develop. As a colleague within the Executive Committee for the past
11 years, I would also like to thank Christophe for his sharp
analysis and his focus on performance which has proven to be of
great value in the development of the Group”
Wim Guilliams, CFO AG
Insurance: “I'm honoured to be taking up
the role of CFO of Ageas and thrilled to continue the excellent
work of my predecessor. Ageas has a strong reputation for
delivering and I look forward to working with the Group’s entire
finance community to contribute to the achievement of our
objectives and to Ageas's sustainable growth.”
