Guido Verheijden, Director

I believe in working closely with clients to find solutions that genuinely fit their risk profile: risk management with a sharp eye on prevention and solid advice, not just for today but for the future. My background has always had an international dimension, and that shapes everything I do. The world is growing more complex by the year, and the risks are shifting with it. We source solutions internationally for exposures you need to address in other countries, from political risks to war risks. Through our global networks, we access additional purchasing capacity even for risks that fall well outside the mainstream. After fifteen years, shaping Meijers Global & Specialty remains a real challenge, and one I welcome. At Meijers, we get genuinely involved. For me, that means keeping your word, working professionally, delivering the unexpected for clients, and always being ready to collaborate and help.

Vincent Verhagen, Senior Practice Leader

Long before joining Meijers, I spent two years in Africa doing mission work. When I came home, insurance was the last thing on my mind. Yet here I am, and I really love advising clients on complex, unfamiliar risks. That is exactly how we support their entrepreneurship.

As the global economy continues to expand, so does the demand for serious risk management expertise. At Meijers, we work hand in hand with network partners who bring local presence, country-specific knowledge, and an understanding of the structures and responsibilities that vary from one market to the next. Our international insurance advice is built on that foundation. There is always something new to learn in this work, and that is what makes it worth doing.

Ruben Oostwouder, Manager International

More than ten years in insurance, and the work keeps getting more interesting. As part of the Global & Specialty team, I see our clients expanding internationally every day, and with that growth comes a real need for sound, experienced advice. That's where Meijers adds value.

My focus is on the clients of our network partners. When a partner promises their client's headquarters a certain level of service, we're the ones who deliver it on the ground. Two things make that work: a strong local partnership and genuinely excellent service. Beyond that, it comes down to response time, knowing the client's operations, understanding their policies and coverages, and being available when it matters, including outside business hours.

We also have something to prove. International clients don't come to Meijers directly; their headquarters make that call. That's the challenge we embrace. Deliver consistently across borders, and the local business follows naturally.

Rutger den Bruigom, Accountmanager Global Mobility

As a global mobility account manager, I advise companies that operate across borders on everything to do with their people. Most of my clients are international businesses establishing a presence in the Netherlands, alongside Dutch companies sending staff abroad. A growing number of organisations want to offer consistent employee benefits packages across every country they operate in.

Dutch employers tend to provide a great deal for their people, while companies from other markets often take a more streamlined approach to benefits. The Netherlands is an attractive place to do business, but it comes with detailed, specific employee benefits regulations. Navigating those rules takes real expertise. We bring both insurance knowledge and a clear understanding of what competitive employment conditions look like in this market. I find it rewarding to help international clients make sense of the Dutch benefits landscape, and equally to connect Dutch clients with our network of global partners. The goal is always the same: take the complexity off our clients' plates, and off their employees' plates too.
