People and Business: City of Amlo
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ING BARINGS failed to agree on a location for its head office following the latest shake-up of its investment bank activities, so it invented a new city - Amlo.
The problem is that, following the rejig, ING Barings has two top people based in Amsterdam and two in London.
The Dutch-based duo are Ted de Vries, who will head up the financial markets arm, and Jacques Kemp, head of network management.
The pair based in London are Malcolm Le May, the new head of corporate and institutional finance, and David Robins, the chief executive officer of the investment bank who joined last year from UBS.
Although the name "Amlo" has only just been inked in on ING Barings's internal organisation charts, I fear it may soon have to be replaced.
Michel Tilmant, the chairman of ING Barings, runs BBL, the Belgian bank that ING bought last year. Mr Tilmant is based in yet another location, Brussels.
Any takers for Bramlo?
