Robeco has appointed Amr Albialy as head of EMEA and North America Institutional, and Frank Groven as head of global financial institutions, in a double promotion within the firm.
Albialy has held his new, permanent position on an interim basis since September 2025. Alongside working as head of institutional sales for EMEA and North America, Dubai-based Albialy will continue to lead the firm’s Middle East and Central Asia sales business – a role he has held for 15 years.
Groven, who is now the firm’s head of global financial institutions, was previously Robeco’s head of wholesale Belgium and Luxembourg (BeLux). He has been with the company for 18 years, having overseen commercial development in the Belux region since 2012.

In his new role, which is a newly created position, he will lead and expand Robeco’s commercial relationships with global financial institutions. Erik can de Weele, sales manager BeLux, will take over as interim head of the BeLux region.
Ivo Frielink, global head of sales and marketing at Robeco, said: “We are pleased to strengthen our sales team with these senior roles filled by trusted colleagues from within our own organisation.
“They both bring deep experience, proven commercial strength, and a strong commitment to our clients, our colleagues, and our strategy.
“Their appointments ensure continuity in our leadership and reinforce our ability to execute long-term commercial objectives. I look forward to our collaboration as we continue building on Robeco’s growth ambitions together.”
