Hele, ING Group CFO, quits

by AccountancyAge.com

24 Oct 2008

ING Group announced yesterday that John Hele, its chief financial officer, will leave the company effective from 31 March, 2009, for ‘family reasons’ and to pursue a career outside ING.

The announcement came the same week as credit-market losses drove shares of the ING Group, the Netherlands’ biggest financial-services company, to a 13-year low, prompting the Dutch government to give it a lifeline by buying non-voting preferred shares for €10bn (₤8bn).

While the Government appoints two representatives to the ING board, Hele will remain a board member and CFO until the end of March 2009 when he has completed the annual accounts and filings for the 2007-08 financial year.

Starting 1 April, 2009, Hele will join Arch Capital Group Ltd as executive vice-president and CFO. Arch Capital Group writes property and casualty insurance and reinsurance on a worldwide basis and is listed on the Nasdaq in New York.
