The event was also attended by the Dutch Ambassador to Vietnam, Nienke Trooster, and the Dutch Consul General to Vietnam, Simon van der Burg. He said the embassy and consulate regularly organise seminars and networking events to connect RSM alumni and the Dutch business community. “Some alumni are employed by Dutch companies, others are business partners,” said Van der Burg. “There is a natural link. With their knowledge and experience, RSM alumni are ambassadors for the Netherlands.”
Attendees expanded their networks, and discovered developments at RSM and the city of Rotterdam. “We were privileged to have so many high-profile guests assembled to stress the importance of education in general, and education at RSM in particular,” said Maryke Luijendijk-Steenkamp, Director of MBA Marketing and Admissions at RSM and co-organiser of the event. The networking reception concluded with networking drinks where attendees could explore their mutual links with RSM and Rotterdam.
