The $4.7
billion Directors Guild of America-Producer Pension and Health Plans has named Anouk van der Boor as the new CIO, effective
July 1.

In the new role, Boor will work closely with the DGA-PPHP’s Finance
Committee on asset allocation, risk management, manager selection, and other
strategic initiatives.

Prior to this
role, she served as the managing director for The Rockefeller University for
almost two years. There she developed deep expertise and network of relationships in Venture
Capital including AI, Blockchain and Life Sciences and proposed and presented new
strategies for inclusion in the portfolio such as real estate credit, special
situations, energy transition and blockchain.

As a managing
director, she also sourced, ran due diligence and monitored fund and co-investment
opportunities in the $1 billion+ private investment portfolio. 

Before that, Boor worked at Cambridge Partners for
seventeen years and had started in 2005 as senior investment director, where
she stayed for three years. She then moved on to being the managing director
for private investments in Singapore for almost six years before taking over the
same role in Massachusetts for almost four years.

Boor worked as
a partner for managing private investments for almost five years before moving
onto the next organization.

“She is a
seasoned investor with a track record of delivering strong returns. Her deep experience
in private markets and extensive network of manager relationships will open new
opportunities for our pension and health plans,” said Jay Roth, Co-chair of the Finance
Committee of the Board of Trustees.
