Kees van Dijkhuizen succeeds
Gerrit Zalm as CEO of ABN AMRO
Kees van Dijkhuizen, currently Chief Financial
Officer of ABN AMRO Group N.V. and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., has been
appointed as Chief Executive Officer. His appointment becomes
effective upon approval by the regulators. This approval is

succeeds Gerrit Zalm, who was appointed in 2009.
In his capacity as CEO, Mr van Dijkhuizen will be
responsible for executing and delivering the strategic targets as
announced to the market at the time of the IPO in November last
year. He will, in consultation with NLFI, create the conditions for
the Dutch government to further sell down the remaining
shareholding.
Mr van Dijkhuizen will be responsible for
providing impetus to the new leadership the bank requires in this
next stage. As CEO he will, in consultation with the Supervisory
Board, give form and content to the strategy, the organisation and
the composition of senior management. This with the objective to
ensure that the bank is well-prepared for the challenges in the
coming period. ABN AMRO, in this next stage, should stand for
an entrepreneurial culture, client focus, sustainable growth and
sensitivity to society.
Mr van Dijkhuizen joined ABN AMRO in May 2013. He
was Chief Financial Officer of NIBC Bank N.V. from 2005 to 2013, as
well as its Vice Chairman from September 2009 to 2013. Previously,
he held various positions at the Ministries of Finance and Economic
Affairs. In 1999, Mr van Dijkhuizen became Director General of the
Budget at the Ministry of Finance. From 2000 to 2005, he held the
role of Treasurer General.
Olga Zoutendijk, Chairman of the Supervisory
Board: "Kees van Dijkhuizen has solid experience and a strong track
record as CFO of ABN AMRO, and has held multiple senior executive
positions in the banking industry and the public domain. His
experience, combined with his personal integrity and leadership
style and extensive network, make him well-suited to lead ABN
AMRO."
