The company said the hire and creation of the new role “reinforces” its commitment to growing the business in the region.
Based in Amsterdam, Westhuis will report to Fabien Madar, head of Western and Northern Europe. In the role he will be responsible for developing Pioneer Investments’ relationships and business with wholesale clients in the Netherlands. The role will also cover Scandinavian markets alongside Michel van Mazijk, head of Institutional business for the Netherlands and Nordics, who joined the firm in February. Van Mazijk will be responsible for the overall coordination of activities in this region.
Westhuis joins Pioneer from ING Investment Management where he spent more than ten years, most recently senior business development manager responsible for wholesale clients in the Netherlands
“We are strongly committed to these markets and see excellent opportunities to further build our business here,” said Madar.
“We have made significant strides already in developing relationships with institutional clients this year. With both Michel and Rogier now on board, we have a strong team in place to drive our business forward and provide top quality service to our clients here.”
