Boardroom Departure At ABN AMRO

One of the managing board members of the Dutch bank is stepping down in May.

ABN AMRO has announced the departure of one of its managing board members.

Joop Wijn will step down from the board and leave the bank on 1 May 2017, joining the board of payment fintech company Adyen as chief strategy and risk officer, the Netherlands-headquartered bank said in a recent statement.

Wijn joined ABN AMRO in early 2009 and was appointed to the board on 1 April 2010. He is responsible for the bank's corporate banking division.

Among recent developments, ABN AMRO last year sold its Asian private bank to Liechtenstein-headquartered LGT Group, part of a trend of some European banks selling wealth operations in Asia.
