RSM alumnus nominee of the Young Professional of the Year 2012 election

RSM alumnus nominee of the Young Professional of the Year 2012 election

MSc alumnus Diederik Artz is one of the finalists for the Young Professional of the Year 2012 election. Diederik finished his Master of Science (Business-Society Management) at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) in 2007 and is currently Project Manager Change and Process Management at SNS REAAL.

Organised by ICA (the association of young professionals in the Netherlands), this year’s election theme is Dream, Dare and Do. According to the organisers, a Young Professional goes beyond dreaming but also dares to act, and create concrete results. All finalists need to prove they possess the capabilities that fulfil this profile. Big changes start with a dream – and without dreams there is no view, without a view there is no purpose, let alone a concrete result.

It is Diederik’s dream to repair trust in the financial world. “In my dream, we go back to the roots and the client is the centre of attention again. I want to use my talents and realise this dream together with many others. I can inspire and connect people. This is the way I want to realise my dream!”
