ROSE DAMEN
Age: 33 Non-executive director and
shareholder at Damen Shipyards

I started my career in the financial
sector, but shipbuilding is in
myDNAanditdrewmeback
to the family business that my
grandfather established in 1927.
I’m a people person, so I enjoy
working with our clients.
Yachts in the futurewill have
to be much more autonomous.
Owners will be jetting in and out,
expecting perfectly organised
activities anywhere in the world.
So life will get even tougher for
the crew. We have to support them
with capable designs that show a
deep understanding of logistics and
routing as well as aesthetics.
Ownership is less of a goal for
future generations.
It’s a means to an experience. As
a yacht builder, it means we have
to ofer fast delivery with great
service, but also demonstrate how
investing your own tastes into
a design can enhance the
overall experience.
