Tonella will take over the position from Marnix van Stiphout, ING’s chief operations officer and chief transformation officer, who took on the role on an interim basis last November following the departure of Görkem Köseoğlu, who left the bank shortly after his promotion to CTO to start his own fintech, Prometa.AI.
ING’s latest hire brings more than 20 years of experience in tech leadership to the role of CTO, and currently serves on numerous boards.
Between 2017 and 2021, Tonella held several leadership roles at Italy’s UniCredit, beginning as the group’s chief information officer, before advancing to digital and information officer, and ultimately serving as CEO of UniCredit Services.
Prior to his stint at UniCredit, Tonella worked for the likes of Evalueserve, Swiss Life, and AXA Group.
Commenting on the bank’s new CTO, Steven van Rijswijk, CEO of ING, states: “Daniele’s experience and track record in digital leadership will greatly benefit ING in executing our strategy to be the best European bank, by accelerating growth, increasing impact, and delivering value.”
