Petra van Hoeken, Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and member of the Managing Board of NIBC will leave the bank after having worked with the bank for over four years. Petra has been nominated as Chief Risk Officer of Rabobank. The effective date is to be determined.

Petra joined NIBC in December 2011 and has contributed significantly to the strengthening of NIBC’s resilience by improving its credit, market and operational risk framework.

Wim van den Goorbergh, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of NIBC:
"We will miss the dedication of Petra at NIBC. So we are grateful for her contribution in transforming the bank into a financially healthy organisation with an adequate risk framework and that is well positioned for the future. I speak for the entire Supervisory Board when I thank Petra for bringing her extensive experience and strong commitment to NIBC in the past four years."

Paulus de Wilt, Chief Executive Officer of NIBC:
“Petra has played an important role in guiding the bank out of the financial crisis. It is due to her work and dedication, that she leaves a bank that is ready for a sound and profitable future. All of us of the Managing Board are sorry to see Petra go to Rabobank. On the other hand, it fills us with pride as it is again a recognition of the quality leadership at NIBC. We wish Petra all the best in the future.”
