Fred Dellemijn, the former head of public relations at Fortis Bank Nederland, has formed his own consultancy firm.
Called TickerPR & CoMsultancy (sic), the firm will provide marketing, communications and public relations services to investment managers, pension funds and securities services providers. The services range from strategic advice to pragmatic hands-on execution, says Dellemijn.
A Global Custodian Legend of Securities Services, Dellemijn was until August 2010 head of press relations, public relations and public affairs at Fortis Bank Nederland in Amsterdam.
Though he could have stayed on in any one of these three roles after the integration of Fortis Bank Nederland and ABN AMRO Bank, and was offered a position within the merged entity, Dellemijn opted instead to pursue his own path.
Dellemijn spent 15 years at Fortis Bank Nederland and its predecessor banks, Fortis and MeesPierson. When the bank had to be rescued amid the turmoil of October 2008, Dellemijn unselfishly took on the marketing and PR responsibilities alongside his banking duties.
