Ageas has announced that Wim Guilliams is to succeed Christophe Boizard as the firm’s CFO.

Boizard intends to to retire as Ageas CFO after a tenure of more than 11 years, and the move will be effective from 1 June 2023, subject to regulatory approvals.

With Guilliams, the current CFO of Ageas’s Belgian subsidiary, AG Insurance, Ageas said it was appointing an experienced executive with extensive financial knowledge, as well as someone familiar with the group and the insurance sector. 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 the firm’s newly appointed CFO, Guilliams will also be proposed as a member of the Ageas board of directors at the general shareholders meeting of 17 May 2023. As of 1 January 2023, he will be appointed deputy CFO of Ageas in order to initiate the transition with Boizard.

AG Insurance also announced this morning that a successor to Wim Guilliams as CFO of AG has been appointed.

Guilliams commented: “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.”

Ageas CEO, Hans De Cuyper, added: “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.”
