Ruben Blok
Bunker Risk Manager
Born in Dordrecht, The Netherlands in 1986. I have been in the oil industry since 2007. Since 2010 I have been active in bunkering in roles varying from risk management, physical supply, cargo trading, blending as well as bunker buying and supply optimization. I have always had a passion for risk management and the use of derivatives, especially to apply these tools to create solutions for our customers. I also enjoy sharing this passion and give risk management training inside and outside the company. As most in our industry do: I enjoy working with different cultures in an international environment and solving new problems every day.
My mother tongue is Dutch. Furthermore I speak English, making progress in Danish (as I am married to a lovely Danish woman) and have basic understanding of German, French, and Italian. My free time I spend on sailing, skiing, working the garden, traveling, socializing. Coincidentally all of my hobbies can be combined with drinking wine, which is also a passion of mine.
