Rabobank has appointed Christine Pelletier as regional head of Trade and Commodity Finance (TCF) for the Americas.

Rabobank has TCF teams in 12 offices around the globe. Pelletier leads TCF activities in North and South America from offices in New York, Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires.

“Christine has the ideal background to lead our Americas TCF team, and she is well-positioned to help us grow in a key region for our franchise,” said Jasper van Schaik, global head of Trade & Commodity Finance.

David Bassett, head of Wholesale Banking North America, added: “We were very pleased to promote Christine from her current position at Rabobank, which shows the strength and depth of our Americas TCF team.”

Pelletier, who formerly served as a senior relationship manager with the TCF Agribusiness team in New York and also worked with the TCF energy and metals teams, started at Rabobank in 2017. She previously worked at Société Générale NY as a senior banker in the commodity finance team.

In her new function, she will become a member of the TCF Global Management Team and the Wholesale Banking North America Leadership Team.
