Consortium Alter ABN Amro Board

Tue, 16 Oct 2007

The consortium who recently acquired ABN Amro in a £49bn deal have rejigged the bank’s management board.

Mark Fisher has been appointed as the new chairman and will move from his role as RBS executive subject to a shareholder’s vote, replacing outgoing Rijkman Groenink who leaves his position with a £20m payoff, having favoured a rival bid from Barclays during the protracted takeover negotiations. Fisher’s appointment must be ratified by shareholders in a vote set to occur in the coming months.

Meanwhile, the chief executives of each of the three banks in the consortium – Sir Fred Godowin of RBS, Juan Inciatre of Santander and Jean-Paul Votron of Fortis – will join the ABN supervisory board chaired by Arthur Martinez. They will replace Marcus Pratini de Moraes, Gerhard Randa, Lord Sharman of Redlynch, David Baron de Rothschilf and Paulo Scaroni.
