MEET Danilo Gonzalez
Danilo is originally from Peru where he graduated in industrial engineering before moving to Europe more than 20 years ago after spending 2 years in USA. As many treasury practitioners, he started in Treasury by accident as all related to numbers and math calculations were enough to be attracted to the field. All started in banking, in derivatives to move after in corporate treasury. He accomplished a master’s degree in international management in Austria as well as an ITM (international treasury management) certificate from ACT. Having lived in 5 different countries and mastering several foreign languages, working in a multicultural treasury environment was the perfect fit.
Danilo has been working in Treasury for the last 16 years in different roles related to derivatives, Cash Management, FX Management including difficult markets like Africa, Trade finance solutions, financing, working capital, global M&A projects and treasury tools implementation.
Danilo believes that knowledge sharing is a must to grow together, hence he was a guest speaker in a couple of treasury podcasts.
As treasury leader and advocate, Danilo is committed to keep learning how to best lead his team, transform, adapt and reshape the treasury tasks for future needs. Change is inevitable and growth is optional.

Uitgelicht: Een nationale investeringsbank, voor of tegen?
| 13-10-2016 | Jan de Kroon | Een aantal politieke partijen hebben het idee al omarmd: een nationale investeringsbank. Het Centraal Planbureau heeft ondertussen onderzoek gedaan en is er minder enthousiast over. Volgens het CPB levert een nationale investeringsbank nauwelijks iets op voor de economie. De voorstanders zien in dit plan echter een forse impuls […]
Ziekenhuizen gaan op zoek naar alternatieve financiers
| 12-10-2016 | Pieter Jan van Krevel | Een tijdje terug verscheen het bericht dat het Tweesteden ziekenhuis in Tilburg als eerste ziekenhuis de kredietwaardigheid heeft laten beoordelen door een externe kredietbeoordelaar. Met daaruit volgende A-rating hoopt het ziekenhuis onder andere institutionele beleggers aan te trekken. Ziekenhuizen krijgen steeds lastiger een lening bij de bank […]
