About Eelco Ouwerkerk

Driven by Impact. Combining Insurance with Technology (InsurTech). (Commercial) Growth. Three driving aspects throughout my career - from start-up, scale-up to corporate.Trade credit insurance, credit management, debt collection, business information and factoring has been my sweet spot. My late grandfather, serial entrepreneur Nico Dongelmans founded credit management firms Dongelmans Business Services in The Hague and Dongelmans International NV in Antwerpen which were later sold to Vendex and Nederlandse Credietverzekering Maatschappij NCM (current Atradius). Then, together with another company (Van der Graaf) a joint venture was formed called Graydon (current GraydonCreditsafe). The name Graydon orginated from 'GRA' from Van der Graaf and 'DON' from Dongelmans, of which the letter y was inspired by the Spanish word for ‘’and’’. In addition, in the late eighties my father amongst others founded international debt collection, trade credit insurance and factoring firm Eurocollect in Gouda which he successfully sold in 1999 to Nederlandse Credietverzekering Maatschappij NCM (current Atradius) and employed then 100 people. B2B & B2C experience (EMEA, APAC, Americas) in general management, sales, marketing and procurement at Aon (Insurance Intermediary/Broker), Rabobank (Finance&Insurance), Odido (Telecom), DPG Media (Newspaper), Croonwolter&dros (Power&Utilities) and currently serving as the Chief Commercial Officer for Coface (Insurance/Business Information/Factoring/Debt Collection).Co-author of the bestselling “The InsurTech Book” and guest-speaker at InsurTech events. I ensured for the maximum personal accreditations and certifications in Insurance and Risk Management:• Master degree in Business Administration • Executive master degree in Enterprise Risk Management • Registermakelaar in Assurantien (RMiA®) • Executive Sales Professional (ESP®) for Commercial Director • Senior Marketing Professional (SMP®) • Certified Risk Management Consultant (GRMC®) • Registeradviseur Verzuim- en Inkomensmanagement (RVI®) • Register Gevolmachtigd Agent (RGA®) / Managing General Agent (MGA)Specialties: Account Management, Business Information, Marketing, Sales, PR, Branding, Business Development, Trade Credit, Credit Solutions, Property, Casualty, Debt Collection, Health & Benefits, Claims, Broking, Financial Lines, Cyber, SaaS, Enterprise Risk Management, Underwriting, Insurance, Factoring, Assurance, Retail, Wholesale, Social Media, Fintechs, Insurtechs, Start-ups, Scale-ups, China, Japan, Multinationals.Fluent in Dutch, English and German.
