IA|BE warmly congratulates Hans De Cuyper, CEO of Ageas, on being awarded Manager of the Year 2025 by Trends. This recognition highlights his leadership in a complex and rapidly evolving insurance landscape.
Hans De Cuyper is also a member of the Institute of Actuaries in Belgium (IA|BE). His career illustrates how a strong actuarial background provides a solid foundation for senior leadership roles in insurance. Actuarial training develops analytical rigour, long-term thinking and a deep understanding of risk — competencies that remain highly relevant at executive level.
This distinction reflects not only personal achievement, but also the broader value of actuarial studies in supporting sound decision-making and sustainable management within the insurance sector.
IA|BE congratulates Hans De Cuyper and wishes him continued success.
