Damen fills new Corporate Affairs position

Bloem’s appointment will take effect from 1 January 2024. 

Bloem combines experience working both within the Netherlands’ public sector, where he was involved with the shipbuilding sector when working for the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and liaising closely with the public sector, when he subsequently worked as the general director of the industry association Netherlands Maritime Technology.

Bloem subsequently worked as a partner at the strategic maritime consultancy Marstrat, and held public-private positions in the Rotterdam region.

“I consider it an honour to be part of a dynamic and innovative organisation like Damen,” says Bloem. “I look forward to contributing to the success and continued growth of the company. My public and private network will certainly help in that respect.”
