Schiphol, August 20, 2026 - Aegon today announced that, in connection with the planned move of its head office and legal seat to the United States, it has agreed with Duncan Russell that he will step down as Chief Financial Officer and leave the company in April 2027. Aegon has initiated a search for his successor.

Aegon CEO Lard Friese said: “Duncan has made an invaluable contribution to the transformation of Aegon, strengthening our financial foundations and positioning the company for long-term success. He has also been a trusted advisor to me personally, and I have greatly valued his counsel and partnership. On behalf of the Board of Directors and all our colleagues, I would like to thank him for his leadership and dedication.”
