Marieke van Kamp has been appointed as the new chairperson of the European Association for Investors in Non-Listed Real Estate (Inrev).
Van Kamp's appointment was one of the board changes announced during Inrev's annual conference in Berlin on Tuesday.
As head of private markets at NN Group, Van Kamp is responsible for the real estate, private equity and private loan portfolios of the NN insurance companies. Active in 18 countries, NN Group is a Dutch insurance and investment management company that was created out of the ING Group.
Van Kamp previously worked at Syntrus Achmea, ING Real Estate and ING Insurance.
Outgoing Inrev chairman, Neil Harris rotates off the board, alongside Matthew Ryall and Christian Delaire having served two consecutive terms of three years.
Inrev also announced that Wenzel Hoberg of German investment company Triuva is taking over as vice chair from Mike Clarke of CBRE Global Investors. Hoberg has been a member of the Inrev management board since 2013.

Coinciding with the news of the board changes, Berlin-based GIG announced it has appointed Matthias Thomas, the outgoing INREV chief, as its new CEO from September. INREV announced last week that Thomas would be stepping down after seven years in his current post.
In further changes to the Inrev board, Catherine Martougin, partner at Baker & McKenzie; Ilkka Tomperi, investment director at Varma; and Thomas Brown, partner at LGT Capital Partners (USA) join the board.
Inrev was launched in May 2003 as a forum for investors and other participants in the non-listed real estate vehicles sector. The association represents an industry with a total value of €2.1 tln.
Its members include 75 of the largest institutional investors as well as 40 of the 50 largest real estate fund managers, plus banks and advisors across Europe and elsewhere. Forty new members joined Inrev in 2016.
