Marian has been at the helm since the establishment of our company in 2015, growing it from a software development centre to a technology hub housing complex, end-to-end projects. He fostered a strong engineering culture, always explored new avenues for the business, and personified the values that lie at the core of our culture. Dennis joined ING in 2015 and his trajectory has been marked by rapid advancement, from product owner to high-level roles like chief data officer for Wholesale Banking, and later on for the Netherlands, and global head of Data Operations since 2022. He is delighted to join us in Romania and take our story further. We are very grateful for the journey we've been on and excited to start a new chapter just as we reached another milestone: 2000 colleagues onboarded. Here’s to a promising 2025! ✨
