THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Oct. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Ninety One appointed Josien Piek as Sales Director for Northern Europe. The firm also announced the opening of a Dutch branch, to be managed by Josien.
Josien, based in The Hague, will be responsible for business development and sales in the Netherlands and the Nordics.
The appointment of Josien, who returns to Ninety One after six years in sustainability benchmarking and impact investing with a focus on Northern European institutional investors, and the opening of the Dutch branch will enable Ninety One to capitalise on the strong dynamics of the market.
The Netherlands is a key market for Ninety One, requiring a permanent presence from which the firm can continue to grow in Northern Europe.
Josien led Nordic and Dutch sales for Ninety One from 2010 to 2017. Immediately prior to rejoining Ninety One, she was Head of Nordics and the Netherlands at Haven Green Investment Management. Josien was also a Founding Supervisory Board Member for the World Benchmarking Alliance.

Josien Piek said, “It’s a great pleasure to be back with Ninety One. The culture is unique, enabling a diverse set of talented people to invest for positive outcomes in a rapidly changing world. I’m looking forward to developing our business in the Netherlands and Nordics.”
Aymeric Francois and Maik Fechner, the co-heads of Central and Northern Europe for Ninety One, said: “We’re so pleased to welcome Josien back to our firm and are most excited about opening a Dutch branch. Given Josien’s more than three decades of knowledge and experience in the financial sector, including as a macro economist and former portfolio manager, she is very well placed to strengthen our relationships with investors.”
