ABN AMRO intends to appoint Annerie Vreugdenhil chief commercial officer of personal and business banking and a member of the executive board for a period of four years beginning on March 1, 2022.
The personal and business banking division develops and manages all digital client services within ABN AMRO, serving mass consumer, affluent and business clients. Vreugdenhil’s appointment is subject to regulatory approval. She will be introduced at an extraordinary general meeting of the company, which has yet to be scheduled.
Vreugdenhil has more than 30 years of banking experience. She will join ABN AMRO from ING where she has worked in various leadership positions in a range of client-facing roles across various segments. She is currently head of ING Neo and chief innovation officer at ING.
“I am delighted that Annerie will be joining our team. Throughout her career, she has demonstrated a strong focus on clients and their needs, often challenging the status quo as a leader,” Robert Swaak, CEO of ABN AMRO, said. “As a personal bank in the digital age, ABN AMRO aims to bring convenience into the daily lives of our clients and expertise when it matters. With her broad banking and innovation experience, Annerie is ideally suited to head our personal and business banking client unit as we are building a future-proof bank.”
