Profile

Roel can be characterised as a hard working but pleasant person to work with who knows to create chances with focus on achieving results. Due to a great diversity of studies and working experiences he has developed exceptional skills to understand new themes quickly and act based upon that knowledge. By this capability he easily can connect with people (on all levels: from working floor to supervisory board) and help them onwards in their quest to improve and perform better. His creativity can give sometimes unorthodox points of views but he is always focussed on finding solutions and creating new challenges. Is not afraid of firm negotiations as long as the end-result will be beneficiary for both partners. Understanding the problem is - in most business cases - a big step forward in solving it. Keeping focus on the technical or social issues to solve people wants to do their utmost to help solving them. Do not patronise but enhance / empower colleagues in their skills and personal ambitions will be in line with the ambitions a company has. Roel’s vision on management is that you have to give colleagues freedom to act, to solve and to create, as long it will serve companies aims. Procedures and protocols are necessary to stay on course and realise the aims but they must not kill the self motivation of those with whom he works. He believes in the intelligence of colleagues on every level and their capability to contribute to the business. Don’t make them depending on the management but make them problem-solvers on their own discipline. It is not his ambition to learn people how to fish but to learn together how to fish by blending the creativity of both for the best sustainable results.

Career overview

2015 Strategic Advisor (interim) E.ON Benelux Branche: Energy

Asked by the CEO of E.ON Benelux to perform a market study within the domain of renewable energy. With focus on the transition to convert Greenhouses and households from gas use (for cooking and heating) into to use of rest heat from E-production. This in combination with other types of heat production like Wind, PV, Geothermic wells, Gas Boilers and with the central question whether alternative sources could comply to the market demand. Study was both quantitative and qualitative. Performed based upon interviews with relevant stakeholders and studying > 90 reports and policy documents from e.g. all the Municipalities in the adherence (Rotterdam, Delft, The Hague and Leiden) of the four E-production units of E.ON Benelux.

2011 - 2015 Founder / Shareholder CGG Technologies B.V. Branche: Cool Gas Generator / Propulsion Technology, TNO Safety, Security & Defense

After a partnership with TNO for the development of the Cool Gas Generator for over 6 years to realise a unique and patented Inflatable T-shirt concept / Life Jacket (see ResQme BV) I was asked to buy this technology from TNO and set up an own venture with two partners. To define new Product-market combinations for terrestrial applications and scale up the business besides the applications used in e.g. satellites like Proba-2. Due to the high commercial expectations and to secure the technology itself CGG - Technologies was set-up as an Intellectual Property Limited.


The Cool Gas Generator as developed by TNO for ESA could produce several types of gas: carbon dioxide, pure oxygen, nitrogen, methane, hydrogen and high yield. The nitrogen cool gas generator was in a production stage at TRL 7-8, so composition was clear and only development for specific use needed to take place (housing, connection and isolation). The other gas generators needed more R&D and where at TRL stage 2-3.

Market approach (technology assessments, marktsurvey, business development, propositions etc) took place in separate subsidiaries. ResQme BV (see below) was set up to approach the maritime and navel industry to identify specific applications in that domain. Example possible applications we where thinking of: inflation life rafts and life jackets, emergency escape slides, actuators, fire extinguishers in engine compartments and switch boxes, submarine oxygen back-up systems etc.

After spending countless hours and big money in research, development and market approach we decided in 2015 to stop with the aim to bring the Cool Gas Generators to the market. Complexity, units costs (even in high volume), an unwanted residu and a market that was not waiting for disruptive technologies brought us to this conclusion.

2010 Founder / Owner ResQme B.V. Branche: Maritime / Naval Safety

I focussed myself with ResQme on the Maritime / Naval Industry to explore possible applications for Cool Gas Generators (see above). Besides the application for a patent (EU/ USA) for the use of Cool Gas Generators in a new concept Inflatable T-shirt for kids and Life jackets took place via ResQme. In partnership with the Technical University of Twente we developed and designed the new Inflatable T-shirt / Life Jackets after thorough design studies. New design complied to all regulatory issues (IMO / ISO / CE).

ResQme has been terminated in 2015 (for same reason as CGG - Technologies)

This development resulted in an EU / USA Patent application.

2004 - 2015 Founder / Owner Kids Nautique B.V. Branche: Watersport / Maritime

Based on the analysis that in the triangle kids, water and safety there is no one-stop-shop for parents and kids (age 0 - 14 years) for safety products, I set up Kids Nautique. Kids Nautique aim was to develop on own expenses a small gamma of unique safety products and sell these products worldwide. Developed two products in partnership with Industrial Designers and Technical Universities (Delft and Twente). Brought one product successful to the market, the other faced some technical issues that are not solved yet.

This development resulted into two EU Patent applications.

2003 - 2004 MD ad interim Polikliniek De Blaak & Cosmedisch Centrum De Blaak Branche: Healthcare

Asked as Managing Director a.i. to solve a lot of healthcare issues at a Private Medical centre (8 doctors) where both insured treatments where given but as well cosmetic (non- insured). Reorganised the whole and took care that the Private clinic complied to the Dutch regulatory issues. Meanwhile split up the insured activities from the non-insured issues into two clinics with separate market positioning with it’s own set of stakeholders.

2002 - 2003 Managing Director / Founder Tripod Solutions B.V. Branche: Maritime Safety / Risk Management

Set up a subsidiary under Global Safety Group (GSG: Maritime training worldwide). GSG acquired during it’s expansion the Tripod Methodologie. The Tripod Methodology is developed by University of Leiden & Manchester in assignment of Shell based on the central question “why does our employees make mistakes while we do EVERYTHING to control the safety of our processes and employees?”. I started with a Phd Thesis and a desk to convert the methodology into a web-based questionnaire. After 11 month’s and meanwhile working with a small team of 8 persons I was asked to stop this activity since GSG was about to be sold to Group4Falck and this activity did not fit into the business proposition of trainings.

Education

1997-1999 MSc (drs. title in NL), RSM Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam (Mayor in Marketing, Strategy and Financial Management) 1987-1990 B.Sc. Hogeschool Eindhoven 1985 Higher General Secondary Education (Math and Physics) 1981-1986 Civil Engineering, Secondary vocational education Nijmegen 1977-1981 Engineering, Secondary school, Nijmegen


For my RSM thesis I defined the parameters based upon one can asses and develop a long term relation. So with this model one can assess the quality of a relation in a B-to-B situation (from transaction into a long term relation). Result is that Management can become more aware of the issues that determine a long term relationship with their clients / stakeholders and manage the company on these parameters.

During my international RSM study I conducted - with four other students - in order from KLM / North West Airlines a survey to explore the cultural possibility / impossibility to introduce a new steering system between operators on the ground and the Pilots. This study has been performed at KLM in Amsterdam and North West Airlines in Minneapolis / St Paul. Part of the curriculum was a set of courses we had to follow at the Ann Arbor University / Michigan.

During my B.Sc study I performed a process analysis focussing on the production efficiency of Gable Top cartons at Variopak (became after graduation my first employer). At the time the management was not in control of the production process and with my investigation the management was able to rationalise the production process and get more in “control” of their production. Resulting in better and more realistic quotations and quality management.
