Vision & Mission

NEVIR, the Netherlands Association for Investor Relations, is the professional representative body and advocacy organisation for all members of Investor Relations teams at Dutch listed companies and consultants in the field of Investor Relations.

We seek to represent and support our community in all aspects of professional Investor Relations. We do this by (co) hosting networking events to bring people together to share best practices and experiences and provide information on relevant topics.

Our mission is to get more recognition for the trade of Investor Relations and to further increase its credibility profile. We do this by providing (discounted) learning experiences specifically aimed at the field of Investor Relations as we believe that Investor Relations professionals should achieve an appropriate level of competence and maintain it through continued professional development.

The Board has between six and eight members, representing all aspects of the profession including IR professionals from large, midcap and small cap companies as well as professionals from service providers. All member companies are encouraged to take up a Board seat at some point, for four years. All Board members dedicate their time and expertise on a voluntary basis.

Nevir Board

I hope you are all well in these challenging times for businesses and communities. I am a Senior IR Officer in Shell covering investors in the Netherlands as well as the ESG narrative in Shell towards our investor community. I am interested in extending my relationships with the Dutch IR community and engaging with Dutch investors. I am also keen to provide opportunities for our young staff in IR in Shell to develop. I have on that basis offered my service to the Board of NEVIR and hope to bring to the Board my experiences from previous Board work and current experiences from Shell including energy transition and ESG stewardship. I am currently the Chair of the Board in NEVIR and accountable for a positive Board where the workload and accountabilities are shared and where we all use our skills, knowledge and experiences well in our support to the Dutch Investor Relations community.

I moved to Amsterdam in 2019 to take up the role of Investor Relations Officer at Flow Traders. Previously, I had spent almost 20 years living and working in London. For the first 12 years of my career, I was an Equity Capital Markets banker at Citi and then Deutsche Bank. I then moved into the corporate arena with IPO transaction and investor relations-related roles at The UK Government, Intertrust, The Co-operative Bank and Foresight Group. I am very much looking forward to building my investor relations network here in The Netherlands as well helping to bring some UK perspectives to NEVIR were I will take the role as treasurer.

I love working in the niche market that is Investor Relations and that’s why I have never left. My current adventure as Investor Relations Coordinator at JDE Peet’s started after last year’s IPO and it has been tremendous fun! Within IR I have met so many smart, dedicated and passionate people that all want to add value. 10 years ago I followed my first masterclass at the NEVIR and it helped me to get a good overview of what we do and who the players are. We visited Euronext and a trading floor, it brought everything to life for me. It also connected me with other IR colleagues that exactly knew what I meant when we discussed typical IR subjects. Finding even more ways to connect all different IR roles would definitely be one of my main goals during my time at the NEVIR. I am responsible for the Marketing & Education within the NEVIR and I look forward to connect, support and empower the Dutch Investor Relations community!

For almost a decade I have shared my expertise in digital stakeholder communication with the use of live webcasts and webinars at Euronext Corporate Services. I also have been a proud member of the NEVIR ever since and it is a true honor to be serving the NEVIR Board since October 2020 were I’m the coordinator for all NEVIR events. I look forward to inspire and contributing to the Dutch Investor Relations community and set up insightful and fun activities that currently fit in the evolving (digital) IR community.

Kirsten van Rooijen joined the NEVIR in 2019, within the board she takes the responsibility of the organization of the IR awards. Working very closely with the secretary office of NEVIR, visiting locations, thinking about new concepts, content, new awards, sponsors and the overall organization of this event. Kirsten is the CEO of Computershare’s Continental Europe Issuer Services business. After having joined Georgeson ( a daughter company of Computershare) back in 2007 in London, she held a variety of positions within Georgeson and then progressed within Computershare company. She has been involved in a number of M&A transactions, Activism situations and is an expert within Computershare on the Shareholder Meeting.

For two years already I’m enjoying my role of Investor Relations Coordinator at Signify. I find Investor Relations a great field to work in because it gives me the opportunity to liaise with a wide variety of people and getting to know the company in depth.
Before Signify I worked for ABN AMRO and Rabobank (9 years in total), in the Corporate Access teams. This is when I first became acquainted with the field of Investor Relations. I immediately found it interesting, because Investor Relations is the connection between a company’s core management and its existing and prospective investors. I then decided I wanted to work in Investor Relations one day, for a company I felt really connected with. The fact that Signify is playing a key role in the transition to a low-carbon economy makes me love my job even more.
The NEVIR is the perfect platform to meet with other IR’s, to share experiences, raise challenges and to brainstorm for solutions. I am very pleased to now take place in the NEVIR Board and look forward bringing people together and to further strengthen the Dutch Investor Relations community.

In July 2022 I started my IR adventure for Pharming Group. While I am fairly new to IR, I am no stranger to communications strategies and nerding out to finance. Prior to moving into biotech I worked at Aegon in the Corporate Communications department. There I was given the opportunity to work closely with the IR team who, kudos to them, were great teachers in preparing me for my new role. Fun fact about me, I genuinely love quarterly results.
I’m excited to join the NEVIR board and be more involved in helping create an IR community that fits the needs of our members. If you want to connect, please reach out to me via LinkedIn. Looking forward to meeting you all and learning from you as well.
