Dutch bank Rabobank has appointed Alexander Zwart as its new chief innovation and technology officer, starting 1 December.

Zwart has been working at Rabobank for over 15 years, having joined in 2008 as head of cash management operations. He worked his way up to the top for over a decade, serving in various senior roles, most recently as chief technology officer of Rabobank Retail Netherlands.
