Dutch bank ABN Amro has appointed Jonathan Greenwood as global head of financial institutions and real estate in its corporate and banking division.

He succeeds Rutger Schellens, who was recently appointed global head of markets at ABN Amro.

Greenwood joins from RBS, where he was global head of insurance and head of financial institutions in the Netherlands.

He has also previously held senior management positions in capital markets and investment banking with ABN Amro, Goldman Sachs and Swiss Bank Corporation. His previous career at ABN Amro between 1994-2007 culminated in his position as global head of insurance and pension funds.

ABN Amro said Greenwood has 'extensive experience' advising Europe's leading banks and insurance companies as they seek to adapt to changed market circumstances and new regulatory regimes. This includes arranging IPOs, raising capital buffers, disposal of non-core businesses, and supporting consolidation of closed book life insurance in the UK and Continental Europe.
