What makes your work so enjoyable?
‘Working in an international environment with high tech products is something that holds enormous appeal to me. I often get to spend time in environments you would not normally get access to, for example a seismic research ship, or a shipyard where submarines are built. It’s always fun to witness and learn about the challenges most of our clients face, and how we can help them overcome these. Most of our clients work on new products and/or solutions, and it is thrilling to reach a solution with a client, through co-engineering. That is why I value the build up of long-term relationships; openness and honesty are therefore the most factors to me when working together.’
Is there life beyond DeRegt?
‘In my spare time I like to exercise, for example by boxing and running. I regularly compete in competitive runs or obstacle races. I love music and visit concerts and festivals to watch my favourite bands and artists, and to discover new music. I also love traveling and like to go on adventures with my wife, son and daughter.’
