Introduction new board members

Robin Duvaloois (Board chairman for Port of Rotterdam)

My name is Robin Duvaloois, I’m 28 and currently living in Dordrecht. In 2014, after completing my study civil engineering at the Hogeschool Rotterdam, I started working at Havenbedrijf Rotterdam N.V. (Port of Rotterdam). I started as an Asset Manager Constructions & Dredging, with the focus on the areas Maasvlakte 2/Dordrecht/Alblasserdam. In this function I’m responsible for management and maintenance of all maritime assets in aforementioned areas. I also act in an advisory role for large scale development projects. The Port of Rotterdam has always fascinated me by its grand scale and dynamic character, a lot is happening in the area and you notice that the port is constantly evolving. But the exploitation of a port always involves risks, one of which is (oil)spills. The foundation is one of the contributors in keeping the port clean and safe, I’m excited to be able to commit myself for this purpose.

Joost Dekker (Financial Controller)

My name is Joost Dekker, I’m 36 and I live in Rotterdam. After studying business economics at University of Groningen I have worked at Rabobank for 5 years as a credit analyst and after that for 2 years as business controller at Eurofins, a stock exchange listed company for laboratory research and analytical testing. Since 2017 I work at Havenbedrijf Rotterdam N.V. (Port of Rotterdam) as (financial) advisor, I do this for a few departments namely: Port Development and Asset Management. I am active as a financial coach in my spare time, offering practical assistance and support to people with financial problems. I look forward to employing my knowledge and abilities for the Schermenpool Rotterdams Havengebied foundation.
