IT Director of Customer & Data
About ING
Originally a Dutch bank, ING is now an international organization with business- and consumer banking operations in and outside of Europe. In the last decade, ING has achieved very successful, large-scale and agile banking and IT transformations. However, few industries develop as quickly as the intersection of banking and IT, and there are always new challenges on the horizon. For example, in compliance, regulations such as Know Your Customer (KYC) need new ways to deal with customer data. On the commercial side, IT and data advances require ING to explore new opportunities in client marketing and communications, for example.
Meanwhile, the IT organization is always looking for tactical opportunities to integrate solutions with Group level applications. ING NL’s Customer & Data IT organization is at the forefront of these challenges. They’re developing several large transformation programs to stay ahead of the game.
