# The AsOf Brief, 2026-11-01: One thing that changed on 2026-11-01

date: 2026-11-01  
page: /brief/2026-11-01  

One thing that changed in tech and AI, why it matters, and what to watch. Every item links to its claim on the record; the record has no opinions.

## 1. Adyen named Herna Verhagen chair

What happened: On 2026-11-01, Adyen named Herna Verhagen chair. Previously Piero Overmars. 1 source on record.  
Why it matters: This is a routine handover. Adyen's own notice says Piero Overmars is retiring from the Supervisory Board, the oversight board that sits above management, and Herna Verhagen takes over as chair the same day. The notice gives no reason beyond retirement and no hint of a change in strategy.  
Takeaway: Check Adyen's next annual report for any shift in board priorities under Verhagen - otherwise this is a name change at the top table.
