NETHERLANDS – The OPF, the Dutch company pension fund foundation, has appointed a former government official as its new secretary for supervision and financial markets.

Piet van der Graaff, who takes on the role on June 15, has worked in several management positions at the Ministry of Social Affairs and Ministry of Economic Affairs.

His main tasks at the OPF will be as secretary of the investment committee and advise on issues regarding supervision by De Nederlandsche Bank and the AFM markets authority.
