Nils Driessen

As PMO within Project KYC Outsourcing Retail NL, I was closely involved in project management and was in the lead of two work streams: the onboarding of the employees of the outsourcing parties Rabobank was working with and the preparation of budget plans used by senior management to make financial decisions. Additionally, I produced progress reports that informed upper management of the status of the outsourcing process.  

Andries (Program Manager): “Nils is a talented force. Analytically highly developed, linguistically and communicatively competent. Keeps a cool head even under pressure and continues to perform well. Dares to take responsibility and is aware of the impact that delivered results can have. Nils, you made a valuable contribution as PMO within the KYC Outsourcing program and delivered an excellent performance. Thanks!”   

Together with Rabobank clients, the Rabo Carbon Bank (RCB) develops initiatives that reduce CO2 emissions and/or absorb CO2 from the atmosphere in order to promote the transition to a sustainable system of food production.  

Together with the Operations Manager of the Carbon Bank, I kept an eye on the various pilots and supported him in the operational management of the RCB as a whole. My responsibilities included setting up an RCB-wide dashboard, implementing an optimized operating model to align more closely with the regular Rabobank business, devising a strategy for the propositions that focus on Brazilian clients and drafting a managers guide. In my role, it was important that I was organizationally sensitive and had sufficient connection with the different pilot teams in order to move forward efficiently and effectively.
