Professional History
Regulatory Practice:
President and CEO of Rabobank Canada: I successfully transitioned the Subsidiary to a full service
branch. It was one of the first Banks to obtain approval by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial
Institutions (OSFI). I closed the subsidiary and transferred all assets and tax loss carry forward to the new
branch.
Now as Principal Officer of Rabobank Nederland, (Branch), I established a trusted relationship with the
regulators, OSFI and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC). Diligently, I guided the branch’s
team through all regulatory examinations, tax audits and the annual external audits by Ernst & Young.
All audits and examinations during the 15 years, without exception, were exemplary.

2. Compliance Standards Implementation:
In supervising compliance, I developed a comprehensive Compliance program and Regulatory Compliance
Management Framework. This included documenting all policies in adherence to local regulations as well
as integrating them with Head Office regulations. Networking with North American and Global Compli-
ance teams, I had regular face-to-face meetings and conference calls to discuss local, regional and global
regulatory compliance developments, policies and their implementation.
I completed several GAP analyses of global policies in relation to local requirements.
Operations Management:
As Principal Officer, I concurrently assumed the role of Chief Operating Officer. I designed, implemented
and managed the operational processes for the loan administration, funding, cash management, capital
monitoring and credit for the Branch. In a changing environment, I guided the transition of the Branch’s
operational and funding activities to the Regional Office in New York. This increased efficiency, reduced
costs and reduced operational and business continuity risks.
Capital Markets
I established a full Investment Dealer for ABN AMRO Bank in 1985. Further, I contributed to the applica-
tion for a full Investment Dealer for Rabobank, with particular emphasis on the Compliance and Internal
Controls.
Operational Risk
Principal Officer was companioned with my role as Toronto’s Operational Risk Champion. I created de-
tailed flow charts of all operational processes and related risk assessments, implemented all Operational
Risk Management protocols and reported on all Operational Risk Incidents. I participated in the North
American Operational Risk Group with regular meetings, exchanges of experiences.
Branch Management
As Deputy Chairman to the Toronto Management Team, I had the sole responsibility for Compliance and
liaison with OSFI as the Principal Officer. I managed Operations, Operational Risk Management, HR, Of-
fice Management, Business Continuity. My greatest achievement was high scores in all Examinations and
Audits by external and internal auditors as well as OSFI examiners.
