Thijs has been making waves in offshore wind for just over a decade, always at the forefront of technology developments. He kicked off his career at DOT, playing a pivotal role in bringing the innovative slip joint connection from concept to reality. For the past two years, he's been leading developments at Heerema, focusing on next-generation solutions for bottom-fixed offshore wind foundation installations. With an eye for innovation and a passion for pushing boundaries, Thijs is all about driving smart ideas forward.
