Bio
Hans Dewachter
As (associate) professor at the Finance department of the Rotterdam School of Management, I have had the pleasure of coaching Jeroen during his Master thesis research. Although initially I had my reservations on feasibility of Jeroen's research proposal, Jeroen persisted, and managed to write a high quality thesis. Jeroen has proven to be an extraordinary student with a very diverse palette of talents and skills. Jeroen is gifted with strong analytical qualities, keeps a positive and open-minded attitude, and always remains receptive to critical comments. Combined with his open way of communicating, coaching Jeroen was a very pleasant and rewarding experience.
