‘’A well-established bank can face several risks in many different fields, because of this, working in the risk domain of Rabobank is providing me with a lot of learning and development opportunities. When growing up, becoming a ‘’dusty banker’’ was not what I had in mind, however, the typical banking scene is not applicable at Rabobank as I am able to fully speak my mind, together with being valued for my opinion and where I really enjoy my work. As a young and motivated woman, Rabobank feels as the right place where I can prosper.’’
Charmaine Marijnissen, Young Professional Risk Management
