After studying construction engineering, Rudie started in a position as claims handler and underwriter for Construction All Risks and construction-related General Liability insurances with a major Dutch insurance company. In 2007, Rudie made the switch to loss adjusting when he joined McLarens.
With over 20 years of experience working in the Dutch and London Insurance markets, Rudie developed into a versatile adjuster who is involved in predominantly complex CAR/EAR, Property, and Liability claims that frequently require traveling worldwide. As the business grew, Rudie spearheaded the establishment of the European International Desk, a hub for international claims in continental Europe and globally.
Since 2023 Rudie is part of the Dutch Management Team. His experience in the international markets and his contacts with the continental European affiliate partners make Rudie the go-to in the Netherlands and continental Europe for dealing with claims and losses outside of the Netherlands. With his team he provides his clients local contact, yet global service!
In 2017, Rudie was part of a McLarens CAT team in the Caribbean following hurricanes Irma and Maria. In 2019, Rudie was deployed to the Bahamas dealing with numerous claims caused by hurricane Dorian.
