Meet Peter de Ruijter, director of Partner in Compliance Caribbean
Peter de Ruijter has been director and co-owner of Partner in Compliance in Curacao since 2017. He is an ambitious professional, having a strong background in accountancy and finance. He brings to Partner in Compliance, in addition to his professional knowledge and broad experience, his understanding of the Caribbean. Peter knows exactly what is going on in the region. He is also very familiar with the people, the culture and the way of working. Peter is happy to tell you more about himself.
Personal experience in audits and investigations
Immediately after high school, I started working at an accounting firm that merged into PwC over the years. Conducting detailed audits and investigations at many (international) companies has taught me a lot. I have a good understanding of the work of analysts and consultants, thanks to my own experience. Also, during my time at the accounting firm, I already started working in Curacao.
I am proud of what we can offer organizations in the Caribbean in terms of compliance consulting, training, education, compliance recruitment, and of course, compliance audits.
Switch from accountancy to the financial sector
In 1985, I switched to the current ABN AMRO MeesPierson in Curacao. As an internal controller and later as CFO. I was there from the cradle of the automation of financial analyses, and the improvement of processes and of the entire company. It has given me a lot, which I can still use today in my work in compliance. After a short period back in the Netherlands and working in Finance, I started for MeesPierson as Executive Chairman of the Cayman Islands, Singapore, and the Bahamas branches. In my last year at MeesPierson, back in the Netherlands, I held the position of Chairman of the Board of MeesPierson Intertrust in Amsterdam.
After MeesPierson, I started at Staalbankiers. In my 8 years there, as Chairman of the Board, we transformed that bank from a general bank to a specialized private bank. I can fairly say that I have extensive experience in the banking sector and at other financial institutions.
Back to my beloved Curacao
Since 2012 I have been offering my knowledge and experience to various organizations, for instance as a member of the Supervisory Board of several international banks and as a member of the Advisory Board of a trust office. And since 2017, also as director and co-owner of Partner in Compliance in Curacao. My Curaçaoan wife and I enjoy living together in Curacao, and I regularly travel to the Netherlands for my work.
Director at Partner in Compliance in Curacao
Thanks to my many years of experience in the financial sector and auditing in the Netherlands and internationally, I quickly notice what needs to be done, where the organization and processes are working well, and where improvements are required. This helps me to advise organizations, also in compliance and integrity-related matters. Through Partner in Compliance in the Netherlands, I can stay in touch with a large network of CDD/AML analysts and compliance officers. They can help us in the Caribbean with their comprehensive knowledge of laws and regulations and start working right away. Together with my people, I stand for pragmatic, sustainable, and acting with integrity.
I am proud of what we can offer organizations in the Caribbean in terms of compliance consulting, training, education, compliance recruitment, and of course, compliance audits.
