Jan-Willem Ruisbroek, head of infrastructure at APG, will depart the Dutch pension fund on 1 July, 2025, after nearly 20 years with the organization. This leadership change comes at a significant time for the firm's infrastructure division, which manages substantial investments globally. Ruisbroek's departure marks the end of an era for one of Europe's most influential infrastructure investors, leaving a substantial void in the organization's leadership structure.

The €638bn Dutch pension fund giant has been a major player in infrastructure investment, with Ruisbroek leading its infrastructure efforts for nearly two decades. His departure raises questions about succession planning and potential strategic shifts. APG's infrastructure team will need to navigate this transition while maintaining its position as a leading institutional investor in global infrastructure markets, particularly amid increasing regulatory scrutiny and competition for quality assets.

Industry observers will watch closely for APG's next steps in leadership and whether the firm's infrastructure investment approach remains consistent. Ruisbroek's career break suggests he may return to the sector later, potentially with a new role. The timing of this departure coincides with increasing demand for infrastructure investments amid global energy transitions and digital infrastructure expansion, creating both challenges and opportunities for the successor.
