20 November, 2025

Ocorian, a premier global asset servicer to both asset managers and asset owners, has announced that Frederik van Tuyll has decided to step down as Chair.

Frederik van Tuyll has guided Ocorian over the past six years, during which time the company expanded from 700 people in 7 locations to 2,000 colleagues with more than 20 locations.

Chantal Free, Chief Executive Officer at Ocorian said “We are deeply grateful to Frederik for his outstanding leadership and dedication which has enabled us to build extremely strong foundations for our continued success.”

Frederik van Tuyll said “As Inflexion move their investment in Ocorian into their recently announced Continuation Vehicle it is a natural point for me to step down. I am very proud of our achievements and know that Ocorian will continue to go from strength to strength.”
