“I know Willem in his capacity as Superintendent with Heerema. The times I visited the vessels and Willem was on board, we spent quite some time to discuss improvements. Willem is supportive in looking for continuous improvement opportunities and besides technical aspects, has an eye on the individual and knows how to motivate them. Under his leadership, the teams have improved on safety and efficiency over the years. His broad experience and practical approach helped us to solve even the most challenging situations offshore. I can recommend Willem participating in preparation and execution of complex offshore projects and other marine related leadership functions”.

“Willem is a genuine leader during the executing of complex projects and ensures the highest safety standards. Willem is a team player however makes decisive calls when needed whiletaking full responsibility for his team. He always delivers and is one of the most resilient professionals around”.
