Lauren Hamilton-Bruce joins the ABN AMRO UK International Desk as Relationship Director

Lauren has over 14 years experience in Corporate Banking having previously worked as a Relationship Manager at Allied Irish Banks in London supporting a portfolio of corporate clients across numerous sectors including manufacturing, retail, leisure & hospitality and support services. She graduated from university with a law degree and is also fully ACCA qualified. 

She has considerable experience of origination and execution of corporate lending deals along with the portfolio management of those customers thereafter. In her previous role she was instrumental in growing existing relationships by cross selling banking products from different departments across the bank as well as being overall Relationship Manager for each of these connections.  

Lauren joins the International Desk which provides local servicing of ABN AMRO clients (mainly Netherlands based corporate and commercial customers and also clients of ABF, Clearing and CIB in the UK).

Her role will be both to initiate new client relationships and grow existing ones while also being alert to potential credit and financial crime risks that the bank could be exposed to. She will be the point of contact for our clients and will be tailoring an appropriate suite of products for them to ensure all of their banking needs are met. She will also be supporting appropriate businesses to operate in jurisdictions where they do not have a corporate residence. 

Speaking about her new role Lauren said:

This role is a great opportunity for me to work with a fantastic team and get to know new and existing customers and their businesses. I will enjoy finding banking solutions for clients in a way that is tailored to their business needs whilst supporting the strategy of the bank at the same time. I am looking forward to building internal and external relationships in the process.

Edwin Welman, Head of International Desk, welcomed Lauren on board saying:

Lauren was by far the best candidate for the job and I am very pleased that she has accepted to join us. The International Desk is on an ambitious growth journey and with Lauren’s experience, knowledge and professionalism our objectives will become easier to achieve. I am convinced that our customers will be equally excited to work with her.
