Van Lanschot Kempen offers colleagues a range of opportunities to grow and achieve their ambitions, such as by working in different parts of our business. Camieke and Léanne have both recently taken their next steps within the firm.
Camieke joined us as a Business Controller in 2021. The pandemic meant that she didn’t meet her colleagues for six months, but she soon built a strong network in her focus segments, Investment Banking Clients and Investment Management Clients. "I’m grateful to have had colleagues to learn from and mentor me," she says. "I’ve always felt able to ask for feedback and take on projects in the areas I’m interested in."
Léanne started as an intern in 2016, learning the ropes in staff departments in Amsterdam. This quickly led to a role in the financial reporting team, and later in risk management. She reflects: "There are many people who have worked at Van Lanschot Kempen for more than 20 years, which I think is a great strength, as they’ve seen so many parts of the business. There are lots of opportunities to grow and build your network."
In August 2024, Léanne moved to private banking at our office in Eindhoven, as the first point of contact for her portfolio of clients. "I didn’t think private banking was for me at first, but after a shadow day I became much more interested," she says. "This was the perfect next step for me."
Camieke moved into Investment Management Clients in the summer of 2024, to focus on fiduciary management. Her prior experience working with the team helped to ensure a smooth transition. She reflects: "Van Lanschot Kempen provides an environment for people to keep growing within the company."
