Tony de Bree’s Summary

Coming from an SME-background, I have started to work early to be able to pay my studies (history & economics). First at the university of Leiden designing & building e-learning/knowledge-driven modules in 1976.

In 1985, I was headhunted by AMRO to implement e-learning at a large scale (10.000 employees) & to head a large reemployement project to retrain people from the branchoffices to become IT-professional.

Since then I have held many different jobs across the Financial Sector within and outside the Group:

- Merger attempts with Generale Bank
- Merger of ABN and AMRO HR/Training & development units
- Setting up new eLearning unit for new ABN AMRO bank
- Integrating Global Securities Services with MeesPierson
- Setting up and implementing "work-at-home"projects
- Business and IT alignment across the Group
- Global change manager ABN AMRO Trust/eTrust
- Global Separation manager AA/RBS

Using a holistic approach, new technology and with a people-focus: creating value in networks and ecosystems.

In 1997, I finished my EEP MBA in 1997 on the future of investment banking and the proven advantage of international alliances over traditional M&A.

In that year I also started my part-time freelance-activities.

In 2001 I wrote a book on the bleak future of large banks like ING, ABN AMRO and other universal banks in the context of the Global Knowledge Economy and value creation in networks.

My core competence is applying common sense in an integrated way to implement flexible and client-responsive networks and organisations with a creative, problem-solving attitude. And thus earning money and reducing costs even in Compliance and Due Diligence!. Using Web 2.0, social media and BPM.

I want to lead a balanced life together with my wife, kids, friends and partners across the world to achieve measurable, and meaningfull results in an entrepreneurial environment. And to keep on learning and having fun.
