Fortis transformation reflected in new top management structures
Fortis will restructure its top management as of 1 January 2008.[1] The Executive Committee will be recomposed and responsibilities redistributed. A Business Executive Committee - which will replace the Fortis Management Committee - will be installed and will operate in closest collaboration with a Group Executive Committee. Taking into account the Fortis managers who have already taken up responsibilities within ABN AMRO, Fortis is convinced it now has the adequate management structure in place, not only to guarantee the successful integration of the acquired businesses, but also to develop Fortis as a whole. 1. The Group Executive Committee will consist of: * Jean-Paul Votron, CEO and Executive Director (Audit reports directly to the CEO); * Herman Verwilst, Deputy CEO and Executive Director (Human Resources, Public and External Affairs, Business Transformation Office report to the Deputy CEO); * Gilbert Mittler, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Finance, Risk and General Counsel; * Filip Dierckx, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Merchant Banking; * Lex Kloosterman, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Private Banking, Asset Management, Investor Relations and Corporate Social Responsibility; * Camille Fohl, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Retail Banking and for Global Branding and Communications; * Peer van Harten, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Insurance and for Real Estate; * Alain Deschênes, Member of the Group Executive Committee responsible for Technology and Information Services, Operations, Facility, Purchasing and Process Improvement.
Google and PayPal collide at the checkout
Jon Kuhlmann has had a front row seat as that competition unfolded. Kuhlmann, whose company Grapevinehill.com sells discount footwear, had been taking PayPal for years, largely to service the eBay Inc. customers that account for 80% of his revenue. And when Google Checkout came along he added that payment option to his eBay store and his own site. But eBay, which owns PayPal, was having none of it. For the first few days we took Google Checkout for some eBay transactions, but that was quickly stopped by eBay, he says. A year later, eBay was still banning Google Checkout, saying it is unproven. And Kuhlmann was on hand in Boston when Googles attempt to poke fun at that ban badly misfired. Party crashing Google invited merchants attending the annual eBay Live event in June to attend a Revolutionary War-themed party billed as a celebration of freedom of choice.
