Nancy McKinstry
CEO McKinstry has been the architect of Wolters Kluwer’s successful digital transformation for two decades. Only eight other companies in the S&P Global 1200 (which represents over 70% of the global market cap) have a CEO with at least 20 years of continuous service at the same company. McKinstry also holds the distinct honor of being the longest-serving female CEO of a publicly traded Dutch company.
In her 20 years as CEO, McKinstry has transformed the company through print, to online, and digital, towards its current day position as an expert solutions company. Under McKinstry’s leadership, Wolters Kluwer has won multiple independent industry awards, is consistently recognized for its inclusive company culture, and has embedded a relentless drive for technology innovation within its culture. Approximately 50% of Wolters Kluwer digital revenues are derived from solutions that leverage Artificial Intelligence.
50 years of listing
Wolters Kluwer stock debuted for listing on what is now Euronext Amsterdam on June 13, 1973*.

* Wolters Kluwer's stock market listing dates back to 1973, as one of the company's legal predecessors, Informatie en Communicatie Unie (ICU), made its debut on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, now Euronext Amsterdam, on June 13. The company was renamed Wolters Samsom Groep in 1983 and merged with Kluwer in 1987 to become Wolters Kluwer. That year Kluwer's listing was terminated as a result of the merger.
