Marjanne van Ittersum to become Enexis Groep CFO from 1 June

The Supervisory Board (SB) has appointed Marjanne van Ittersum (53) as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) on the Management Board of Enexis Groep with effect from 1 June 2025. Marjanne will be succeeding Mariëlle Vogt, who announced last autumn that she would be leaving Enexis around the summer of 2025.

Marjanne started her career at KPMG and has held various roles in Controlling, Finance, Corporate Governance, Risk Management, Tax and Legal at Ahold and later HEMA. From HEMA, she moved to NS (the main Dutch railway operator), where, as Finance Director of the two largest business units, she was responsible for the finances of the operational and commercial part of the company. For the past five years, Marjanne served as CFO for Ingka Centres, a sister company of Ikea Retail and a global developer and operator of shopping centres. In that capacity, she was responsible for Business and Financial Control, Administration, Governance, Portfolio Management and Business Operations Improvement.

Jos Nijhuis, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, responded: “I am very delighted that Marjanne opted to join Enexis. She will be a worthy successor to Mariëlle Vogt, who will be leaving the organisation in peak condition. Moving forward, keeping up with rapidly increasing customer demand will continue to be the main challenge for Enexis. We will only be able to successfully navigate the energy transition if we continue to invest in the energy grid. The investments increased ever year, calling on Enexis to get the most out of the organisation, to continue its digitisation efforts and to keep looking for innovative solutions. For this to be possible, Enexis needs solid financial foundations, and while the years ahead will prove to be challenging, I am convinced that Marjanne's ample experience in the public and private domain will enable her to fulfil her role with great aplomb. I know that all of us on the Supervisory Board are looking forward to working with Marjanne."

Marjanne van Ittersum: "I feel honoured to contribute to the great challenge ahead of us as CFO of Enexis. The energy transition requires substantial investments and a financial strategy that enables growth, while ensuring grid reliability and affordability for our customers. I am very excited to work with my colleagues and partners to keep Enexis financially healthy and future-proof amidst the investment challenges ahead and will dedicate all my energy and enthusiasm to this important task.”
