COO Jaco van Goudswaard leaves BNG, Amir Arooni becomes interim COO

Van Goudswaard: ‘Since my start at BNG in 2021, I’ve invested much energy in the tremendous change that the organisation is going through, both as COO in the transition of the IT landscape and in my role as a member of the Executive Committee. I’m leaving BNG at a time when many challenges still lie ahead. BNG can be truly considered a bank of added value that makes a major impact in our society. I’d like to thank everyone for the trust and constructive cooperation I’ve experienced.’

Huub Arendse, Chair of the Supervisory Board: ‘During his term of office at BNG, Jaco has guided the IT transition with the utmost professionalism. In doing so, he has contributed to key BNG activities, such as the implementation of the new workspace and the return of payment transactions from Centric FSS to BNG. On behalf of the entire Supervisory Board, I want to thank Jaco for his dedication and wish him all the best in the next step in his career.’
