Hans van der Noordaa, member of the Management Board Banking will become the Chief Executive Officer of Delta Lloyd N.V. as of 1 January 2015. He will therefore step down from the Board per 1 October 2014. 

Hans van der Noordaa was appointed to the Executive Board of ING Group in April 2006 and in 2009 became a member of the Management Board Banking with responsibility for ING's retail banking operations in the Benelux. Hans van der Noordaa's career in financial services spans almost three decades. He joined ING in 1986 and over the years held various management positions within both ING Banking as well as ING Insurance, including CEO of Insurance Europe and Insurance Asia Pacific.

Ralph Hamers, CEO of ING said: "For more than 25 years Hans showed strong dedication to ING, its customers and employees. During these years he contributed to the success of ING when managing both insurance and banking divisions. During the recent years when ING went through trying times, Hans played an important role in the restructuring process and helped setting the future course of the company. I am thankful for his work and wish him well in his new position at Delta Lloyd."

Hans van der Noordaa's responsibilities as a member of the Management Board Banking will be taken over by its vice-chairman, Koos Timmermans. From 1 October 2014, Koos Timmermans will, in addition to his current tasks which include aligning ING Bank's activities and balance sheet with new and upcoming regulation, assume responsibilities for the Bank's operations in the Benelux and ING's sustainability department.
