I prefer to work with clients and to come up with solutions that fit their risk profile. That is, risk management with an eye for prevention and sound advice, also for the future. My background has always had an international aspect. The world is becoming increasingly international and complex, the risks are changing. We source solutions internationally for risks you need to consider in other countries. Think of political risks and war risks. Fortunately, we can use our international networks who provide extra purchasing capacity, even off the beaten track. After fifteen years, it’s a nice challenge to continue to shape Meijers Global & Specialty. We really get involved at Meijers. For me, that means staying true to your word, conducting business professionally, surprising the client, working together, and helping.

A long time ago, before my time at Meijers, I lived in Africa for two years where I was involved with mission work. When I got back I wanted to do anything except insurance. That did not happen. In fact, I have come to really enjoy advising and assisting clients in matters that are complex and unfamiliar. This is how we facilitate their entrepreneurship.

With the rapidly globalizing economy, companies are expanding internationally. There is an increasing demand for expertise in risk management. You cannot separate Meijers from our network partners with their local involvement and awareness of country-specific responsibilities and structures. Our insurance advice flows from this. I love this tension within international work – you never stop learning. 

Ruben Oostwouder, Manager International

Ruben Oostwouder, Manager International

My ten-year anniversary in insurance has already passed. My current position within the Global & Specialty team is interesting because of our clients’ increasing international business. They need sound advice and that is where Meijers provides added value. I focus on our network partners’ clients. We provide the services they promise their clients’ headquarters. Two things are important here: a good local partnership and optimal service. Add fast response time, knowledge of the client's activities, policies and coverages, appropriate action and being accessible – even outside office hours.

We also have something to prove because our international clients do not choose Meijers themselves. Their headquarters choose and that is where the challenge lies. When we offer a sound international service, the local contracts will naturally follow.

Rutger den Bruigom, Accountmanager Global Benefits

Rutger den Bruigom, Accountmanager Global Benefits

As an account specialist in global mobility, I advise on anything related to employees for companies operating internationally. My clients are mainly foreign companies that settle in the Netherlands, but also Dutch companies with employees who go abroad. More and more companies aim to offer the same employee benefits packages in all countries. The Dutch like to arrange a lot for their staff while foreign companies keep benefits more basic. The Netherlands has a good business climate, but also strict rules in the field of employee benefits. Companies need a specialist to translate the complicated regulations. We have insurance know-how and we also know when the employment conditions are in line with the market. I enjoy conversations with foreign clients about the Dutch benefits landscape, and vice versa, connecting Dutch clients with our international partners. My aim is to unburden our clients and their employees.

Kristel van Klaveren, Account manager Transport & Logistics

Kristel van Klaveren, Account manager Transport & Logistics

The world of transport and logistics thrives on efficiency, speed, and reliability but behind the scenes lie complex risks. That’s where I come in. I support companies in identifying, managing, and strategically addressing insurability challenges. No one-size-fits-all advice — just tailored solutions that truly fit each client’s reality and ambition. What energizes me most is working with our team of specialists to turn complex risks into insurable ones. This often makes the difference between a stalled deal and a green light. Clients choose Meijers because we combine deep sector expertise with a strong team approach. We help businesses move forward with confidence through smart risk management and custom insurance strategies. A recent case showed the power of this collaboration: by bringing client, broker, and insurer together, we turned an uninsurable risk into a workable solution enabling a major deal to go through. That’s why I love what I do.
