Ewout Hollegien, Director of Income Insurance at a.s.r.: ‘I am pleased that in René we have found a suitable successor for Luuk as Director of Intermediary Distribution Income & Healthcare. I am confident that in due course he will be a worthy successor to Luuk. With him, we can continue the current steady line and further improve the satisfaction of our advisors and customers. We are of course very grateful to Luuk for what he has done for our company.’
René Draaisma started at a.s.r. in 1998 as an account manager with De Amersfoortse verzekeringen.

René sees it as a welcome continuation of his career to date. ‘I am looking forward to starting in my new position. To be able to lead the team where I started so many years ago is, of course, very special. I am looking forward to expanding our strong market position even further with the team,’ says René Draaisma.
