Gail Klintworth and Matthew Elderfield appointed as members of the Supervisory Board

Gail Klintworth received her bachelor's degree in Industrial Psychology & Languages from the University of Witwatersrand and Rhodes University in South Africa in 1984. In 2015, she complemented this with a master's degree in Sustainability Leadership, at the University of Cambridge. Klintworth spent much of her career at Unilever, including as CEO of Unilever South Africa, Global Senior Vice President of Savoury Foods and later as Global Chief Sustainability Officer.

Matthew Elderfield received his master's degree in International Relations from the University of Cambridge in 1988. He is a skilled banker and director with recent experience as CRO at Nordea Bank, with knowledge of, and experience in, compliance as well. Additionally, he has relevant regulatory experience in the UK and at the Central Bank of Ireland.

Chair of the Supervisory Board (SB) Marjan Trompetter expects the SB to be strengthened with Klintworth's considerable expertise and experience in the field of sustainability, and with Elderfield's knowledge of, and experience in, the risk business – as well as with his experience as a bank executive and regulator.

Trompetter: "Based on the broad executive and international experience of both Gail and Matthew, in addition to supervising the bank, they will be able to advise the Managing Board on both substantive and managerial matters. Both are very well attuned to current (societal) issues. Their extensive knowledge and experience in the areas of sustainability, culture, risk management, and diversity & inclusion make Gail and Matthew a welcome addition to the Supervisory Board."

Rabobank's Supervisory Board further consists of Marjan Trompetter (chair), Johan van Hall (vice chair), Gert-Jan van den Akker, Petri Hofsté, Arian Kamp, Marc Pensaert, and Pascal Visée.
