Postcode Lottery Group

Chief Executive Officer, Postcode Lottery Group

Description

Sigrid van Aken is the CEO of the Postcode Lottery Group, one of the world’s largest private charity donors (€ 1 billion annually). Under her leadership, the Group - a private company, fully owned by a non-profit foundation - has become a leading force in fundraising for charitable causes across five European countries and beyond. The Postcode Lottery Group supports hundreds of charity partners and thousands of initiatives, contributing to a fairer, healthier, greener world while strengthening communities. If France were to introduce a regulated charity lottery sector, the potential rises to € 500 million to 1 billion every year for French civil society. A firm believer in the power of civil society, van Aken is a strong advocate for unrestricted, long-term funding, recognising its vital role in today’s dynamic world where core funding is essential.
