Why Van Riet Advisory

Where governance, day-to-day operations and innovation meet, the hardest choices arise

Many pension and insurance organisations understand perfectly well what is going on, yet stall or slow down the moment choices actually have to be made — and translated into results in terms of organisation, people & cultural values, products, processes and systems. That is exactly where the gap between strategy and execution opens up.

With experience in the boardroom, in operations, in consulting and in software, I help bridge that gap. Not with abstract advice, but with clear choices that are governable, executable and defensible.

How we help

Four themes, one challenge

All themes
01

Pragmatic strategy

Grounded in market knowledge: guiding choices on markets, products, operations and technology that organisations can actually execute.

International & corporate culture

Change succeeds or fails with people. A culture that excels at day-to-day execution is often not built for innovative transformation. I help to understand and resolve that — including when collaborating across national borders.

IT/OPS & finance transformations

The programmes where finance, operations and systems come together: from migration and system replacement to AI-driven redesign of processes and management control.

Pensions

Not transitioning to the new pension scheme costs 18 billion euros

If the Dutch sector abandons “invaren” — transferring accrued rights into the new scheme under the Future Pensions Act — the operational costs of a closed book amount to at least eighteen billion euros: around € 1,800 per member.

An issue that can no longer wait

Let’s explore, without obligation, which choices are needed now to keep your organisation governable, executable and relevant.
