Anneke Keller

Anneke is currently CTO of PostNL and has been working in the technology industry for 25 years. She had the opportunity to lead IT teams through big transformations. During the first 10 years of her career the telecommunications company KPN transformed to a professional service organisation entering new markets like the mobile and internet market. Both TomTom and Coolblue grew tremendously while Anneke was heading their IT departments.

At Jumbo, she was allowed to found and lead the Jumbo Tech Campus which, among other things, made their online proposition successful and future-proof. Her last employer is e-commerce company Wehkamp. Here, she helped the IT organisation navigate the fickle and challenging market circumstances due to the Covid pandemic of the early 2020s.

In 2022, she received a top 3-nomination as "Most Innovative Leader" and “CIO of the Year” from ICT Media. In 2019 and 2020, the Dutch magazine Opzij included her in their list of “Most Influential Women in the Netherlands”. In 2016, 2017 and 2019, she was named one of the “50 Most Inspiring Women in Tech” in the Netherlands by Inspiring Fifty, a global initiative to increase diversity in tech.

However, helping companies innovate isn’t Anneke’s only passion. She is also a board member of WWF. Their slogan “Be One With Nature” is very close to her heart. She feels it is our duty as people to make nature a first priority and keep the earth liveable, not only for us humans, but for all living creatures. She believes this is possible if we work together and take hard action. In her personal life she does this by creating a food forest in her 3-hectare garden. The goal is to locally grow food for as many people as possible in a way that’s also beneficial to the natural ecosystem.
