Asensio Rodríguez  (he/him)
Executive Director

Asensio’s mission at BankTrack is to strengthen the organisation’s role as the leading global watchdog on banks, while ensuring the team grows, thrives, and delivers impact on climate, nature and human rights.

Asensio joined BankTrack as Executive Director in September 2025, bringing with him over twenty years of experience in leading international NGOs across Europe and Latin America. Before joining BankTrack, he served as Director of Greenpeace Brazil for a decade and was part of the global leadership team of Greenpeace International, where he helped shape worldwide strategies on forests, oceans, climate and Indigenous rights. Earlier in his career, he directed communication and fundraising at Greenpeace Spain, and later led Fundación Vicente Ferrer in India through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as Fundación Alivia.

He has spearheaded landmark campaigns such as All the Eyes in Amazon to support Indigenous communities, and Amazon Reefs, a pioneering marine research project that revealed the existence of a unique coral ecosystem at the mouth of the Amazon River.

Asensio is Spanish and currently divides his time between the Netherlands and Spain. He is the father of three grown-up children. Outside work, he enjoys cooking, art, and long walks with Malbec, his Golden Retriever.

Before moving to Nijmegen he lived in Manchester where he worked at The Co-operative Group as a specialist in ethical finance. He holds a BSc in Mathematics and Management Sciences from The University of Manchester and a MA in Sociology from Manchester Metropolitan University. When not at work or consumed by the joys of fatherhood, he enjoys reading, spending time in the woods, training Capoeira Angola and trying to learn handstands, which may be his version of a mid-life crisis.

Diogo's mission at BankTrack is to lead our 'Banks and Climate' campaign, bringing the era of fossil banks to an end, and the age of the just transition and repair to a start.

Diogo joined BankTrack in January 2024 to lead our work on climate. He is originally from Costa de Caparica, Portugal, and holds a degree in Economics from Lisbon's NOVA School of Business and Economics. After work experience in the fields of social work, social entrepreneurship, and corporate innovation, he shifted gears to grassroots activism in 2019 at Climáximo. He has ever since been active in the climate justice movement - fighting for free, just and caring societies.
Diogo thrives in community, is a passionate communicator, initiating cinephile, avid podcast-listener and occasional wanderer. He's also very grateful for all the bread and roses in his life.

She previously worked at Catalyst 2030 as a collaborations coordinator, supporting global civil society organisations to take collective action on climate. When she’s not working, she can be found at a concert or her local art house cinema, reading a novel, or gardening at Dakpark Rotterdam.

Henrieke Butijn  (she/her)
Climate Campaigner and researcher

Henrieke’s mission at BankTrack is to stop banks from financing fossil fuel Dodgy Deals.

Henrieke joined BankTrack as a Climate Campaigner in March 2020. She is driven by a sense of urgency to take climate action alongside a motivation to support and work together with communities affected by bank financed projects and business activities. She has a passion for both food and music from around the world – attending festivals and concerts, discovering new artists and genres, as well as tasting food from different cultures and trying her hand at cooking them herself. When she’s not busy campaigning against dodgy deals, she likes to learn new dance styles. Currently she is following African and Brazilian dance classes, but in the past she has followed ballroom dancing, Zumba and modern dance classes. Before she cha-cha-cha-ed her way over to BankTrack, she worked for the campaign department of Dutch trade union FNV as an organiser and researcher. She holds a MSc in International Development Studies from Wageningen University & Research, and a BA in International Relations and International Organisation from the University of Groningen (RUG).

Giulia’s mission at BankTrack is to keep track of, and push banks to adopt robust human rights policies

Giulia joined BankTrack in March 2022 as a Human Rights Researcher and Campaigner. Her ambition is to work towards a fairer and more inclusive global economy, in which every company makes respect for people and planet part of everyday business. Her other priority in life is good food, having grown up in the rolling hills of Piedmont, Italy, which is world renowned for its rich culinary tradition, including wine and truffles. When not busy trying out new eateries, Giulia also enjoys sports, running, and spending time by the sea. Before BankTrack, Giulia worked at the Business and Human Rights Resource Centre, and at the International Code of Conduct Association. She holds a BA in Linguistics and International Relations from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, and a MA in International Affairs from the Graduate Institute in Geneva.

Raymon van Vught  (he/him)
Graphic Designer, Finance Manager, Office Manager

Raymon’s mission at BankTrack is to deliver top class graphic design for our website and publications, and ensure that our financial management and office systems are in good shape.

Raymon is originally from Nijmegen and has been working for BankTrack since September 2009. Raymon started out at BankTrack as a website manager, but gradually evolved his role in the organisation. He picked up bookkeeping and office management in his starting years. During that time, Raymon was also pursuing a career as an artist/designer. He eventually put his talents as a designer to work at BankTrack, starting in 2015. At the moment, he designs the looks of our websites and reports, coordinates and collaborates with our external web developers and acts as a safeguard to a consistent visual presence of the organisation.

In his free time, Raymon spends a lot of time playing the electric guitar and composes his own music. He is also into Shaolin Kung Fu, video games, walks in nature, playing board games and is a connoisseur of Dutch dark ales and stout beers.

Erik Janssen  (he/him)
Website Content Manager, Funding Scout

Erik’s mission at BankTrack is to keep our website up to date and in good shape, and identify funding sources for our work.

Erik was educated at the HEAO Business School in Arnhem, where he studied Logistics, Marketing and Economics. He was a certified financial and mortgage advisor.

Erik spent most of his working life as financial advisor for private and small business clients. At the same time, he worked as a volunteer for Amnesty International coordinating regional campaign work. Through an unlikely turn of events, he came across BankTrack whilst researching topics for a local newspaper and typing ‘Nijmegen’ into WikiLeaks. After writing an article about BankTrack, he decided that it would be the perfect organisation for him to work for - a crossroads between his background in finance and his human rights work. And so, he started in February 2016, eventually becoming BankTrack’s Website Content Manager.

Besides his work at BankTrack he volunteers as an editor for local newspaper De Nijmeegse Stadskrant, and at a local secondhand bookshop called Books4Life. He considers himself a nerdy text-driven book worm and still stubbornly believes he has it in him to write a work of fiction.

Quentin Aubineau  (he/him)
Policy Analyst

Quentin's mission at BankTrack is to analyse and keep track of bank climate and fossil fuel policies.

Quentin joined BankTrack in September 2023 as a Banks and climate policy Analyst. He has a Master's degree in International and European Environmental Law from Aix-Marseille University. Before joining BankTrack, he worked for five years at the International Institute for Law and the Environment (IIDMA, Madrid, Spain). At IIDMA, Quentin analysed Spanish private companies' climate and environmental policies and was leading the engagement with banks, insurers and utilities. He also worked on energy transition-related topics such as gas power plants and green hydrogen value chain. When he is not working, Quentin is likely to be found training for his next marathon or learning about sport nutrition, physiotherapy and physical preparation. He also enjoys spending time outdoors and cooking.

Camilla Perotti  (she/her)
Climate Campaigner, End Coal Finance

Camilla's mission at BankTrack is to bring our End Coal Finance campaign forward.

 

Camilla joined BankTrack in July 2024 as Climate Campaigner. From September 2023 to March 2024, she worked as an intern for the Banks and Climate campaign. Her ambition is to work towards a more sustainable global economy, where businesses make as little impact as possible on the planet and are invested in the welfare and health of their workers and consumers. Growing up in the Italian Alps, she inherently holds nature in high regard and dreams of renovating an old cottage with a large permaculture garden in her native village. In her free time, you can find her advocating for sustainable fashion all over social media, knitting a sweater while drinking a hot cup of tea, or hiking the hills of Southern Limburg. She holds a Master’s Degree (J.D.) in European, Comparative, and Transnational Law from the University of Trento and an LL.M. in International Law and Security from the University of Glasgow.
