Ms Eloy joined ING in 2000 and was appointed as head of group human resources in 2004. Mr Buiter has joined ING in 2004 as head of human resources Netherlands. In his new position Mr Buiter will report to Michel Tilmant, chairman of ING Group. Prior to joining ING, Mr Buiter worked in a range of senior international HR positions in multinational companies like Philips and NCR Corporation, Ohio.

Mr Tilmant said: Under Marina Eloy’s leadership ING’s HR organization was transformed into a more international and professional organization. I wish to thank Ms Eloy for playing an essential role in putting ING’s performance culture on the map and building a strong and diverse workforce and talent pool.

Wilbert Buiter has outstanding international experience in human resources and a very good understanding of the Dutch environment. I trust that this combination will benefit our entire human resources organization in the years to come.
