Jürgen Rigterink will succeed Nanno Kleiterp as chief executive officer (CEO) of Dutch development bank FMO, with effect from 1 October 2016.

Following the Dutch central bank’s approval for the role, Rigterink will continue to serve as FMO’s chief risk and finance officer until a replacement has been found.

Rigterink, a member of the management board of FMO since 2008, as chief investment officer before moving to risk and finance in 2014.

Jean Frijns, chairman of the supervisory board of FMO said Rigterink’s knowledge of emerging markets and experience in banking makes him “particularly well placed to deliver on FMO’s strategic priorities of contributing to the [sustainable development goals] by driving inclusive and sustainable development abroad”.

Rigterink joined ABN AMRO in the US in 1997, having begun his career at Bank Brussels Lambert. He has held several senior positions since, including sector head for central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa.
