Frans den Broeder, manager
of the Inbound Client Desk.
To better serve Dutch subsidiaries of foreign
parent companies, an Inbound Client Desk
has been opened at International Services.
The goal is to have a single point of contact
for all inbound requests, and thus increase
Rabobank's market share in this segment.
The reason for establishing the Inbound
Client Desk is the large market potential of
these Dutch subsidiaries. Frans den Broeder,
manager of the Inbound Client Desk, says:
"While these 8,500 companies constitute
only one percent of the total number of
companies in the Netherlands, they have
15 percent of all employees. They generate
30 percent of sales, 24 percent of all profits
and 21 percent of all investments. These
companies grow rapidly and after fïve years
35 percent of all foreign parent companies
decide to establish headquarters in the
Netherlands. It's a target group with huge
potential."
The Inbound Client Desk fulfills primarily
a commercial role - such as 1) generating
deals in collaboration with the member
banks, regional teams or large corporates,
2) analysing potentials, 3) handling inbound
customer requests and acquisition plans,
and 4) monitoring deal implementations.
Rabo Share4More, the Rabobank
Group employee fund, is to be rolled
out internationally following a deci-
sion made by the Executive Board.
The fund will be extended initially to
Chile and three European offices -
Milan, Antwerp and Paris. The roll-
out will begin on 1 October 2011.
Rabo Share4More is a fund that is
owned and operated by employees
and pensioners within the Rabobank
Group, lts main focus is to provide
healthcare for women, children and
people with disabilities, as well as
supporting educational projects.
Rabobank employees can make a
voluntary contribution to the fund of
be evaluated in early 2012 with a view
to extending the roll-out globally.
