Arooni, 55, currently is CIO for NN Group in the Netherlands,
which was spun off by ING in 2014. At NN Group, he has led a
digital technology transformation for the banking, insurance and
asset-management firm. He is responsible for the company’s
technology function and business information security, among
others, and the NN Group’s integration of the recently acquired
insurance and banking company Delta Lloyd.
“Amir shares Discover’s commitment to providing a superior
customer experience through the use of innovative technology
solutions that will benefit customers and support our digital
banking strategy,” said Roger Hochschild, Discover’s CEO and
president. “We welcome his customer-focused approach and leadership
in advanced analytics, mobile functionality and artificial
intelligence as we integrate new technology to build on Discover’s
success.”
Prior to his current role with NN Group, Arooni was CIO of
Global Digital Channels & Payments Services for ING in
Amsterdam, where he held various executive roles since joining ING
in 2000.
One of his key accomplishments at ING was a large-scale design,
pilot, implementation and scaling of an end-to-end transformation
of work processes, including Agile and DevOps across onshore and
offshore teams.
From 1999 to 2001, Arooni was program director, senior vice
president and senior business analyst at CapGemini, a global
consulting, technology and outsourcing services firm in the
Netherlands. Prior to that, he held IT-related roles at TPG Post,
Postkantoren BV, and KPN Holding, all in the Netherlands.
His educational background in addition to technology includes a
recent Master of Science degree in Positive Leadership and Strategy
from IE University in Madrid, Spain; an MS in Consulting and
Coaching for Change from HEC School of Management, Paris and Oxford
University, England; and an MBA from Erasmus University Rotterdam,
the Netherlands and the University of North Carolina, Chapel
Hill.
Arooni succeeds former CIO Glenn Schneider, who has worked for
Discover since 1993. Schneider will assist Arooni through the
transition, before taking on a special project role under
Hochschild.
