years. Jeroen Drost will attend Signify Supervisory Board meetings
as an observer until the AGM vote.
Mr. Jeroen Drost (Dutch, 62) has been the CEO of the
family-owned company SHV Holdings since 2016. Prior to this, he was
the CEO of SHV private equity company, NPM Capital (2015-2016), CEO
of the merchant bank, NIBC Bank (2008-2014), and held various
executive roles with ABN AMRO Bank where he worked from 1986-2008.
He is a member of the Supervisory Board of HR services provider,
Randstad, and manufacturer of electrical buses, Ebusco. Jeroen
Drost holds a master’s degree in both Business Economics and in

Pamela Knapp has been a member of the Supervisory Board since
2020. She is the Chair of the Audit Committee and member of the
Remuneration Committee.
Rita Lane has been a member of the Supervisory Board since the
IPO in 2016. She is a member of the Nomination & Governance
Committee and the Digital Committee. As Rita already served for two

years.

ends in May 2024.

Board”, said Arthur van der Poel, Chair of the Supervisory Board of
