Michel Ruijterman

Michel Ruijterman studied Technical Informatics at Delft University of Technology and Psychology at Leiden University for a number of years. He also obtained an MBA/MBI from Rotterdam School of Management. He has worked for over 25 years in senior IT positions at Air France KLM, Ahold Delhaize and, in recent years, at ASN Bank (formerly de Volksbank). Here, he is a member of the bank's Management Team and CIO. In addition, he has been a member of the Supervisory Board of UMC Utrecht since 2025 and is also a member of its Audit Committee. "

ICT is of strategic importance in financial services and, specifically for our bank, a major enabler in achieving our ambitions in terms of the best customer relations and the greatest proven social impact. Research results from colleges and universities provide insight into future areas of application for ICT and, vice versa, the business community can provide education with insights into the knowledge and skills that will be needed in the future. The dialogue in the Strategic Advisory Board is an excellent means to this end."
