Rick DeJong

I joined the IWI team in 2012 to spearhead the commercial and technical development of leading edge industrial safety products and technologies. For more than two decades prior, I was involved in sales and technical concepting specific to industrial assembly automation. I also created and launched a North American subsidiary for a German-based multinational in the industrial automation sector.I studied Small Craft and Marine Technology, and am intrigued by all things technical, especially when they make the world a better place to work and live. This passion has left me a long time enthusiast of boating/cruising, motorcycles and classic cars.Passionate about foreign cultures (and fluent in Dutch), I look forward to travelling, and the chance to meet amazing people along the way.
