Haskoning appoints René de Roos as Global Director Mobility & Infrastructure
As Global Director Mobility & Infrastructure, René de Roos will be leading a 1,800 people strong global Business Line that plays a crucial role in shaping sustainable mobility, infrastructure and airports. In his capacity as member of the Executive Council, he will help steer the company’s overall course. Alongside this, he will take on the role of Resident Director for the Netherlands.
CEO Marije Hulshof: “Coming from our own ranks, René combines entrepreneurship and strong people skills with a clear drive to deliver on our purpose of Enhancing Society Together. His blend of technical, consultancy and business expertise fuels innovation and strategy, making him ideal for both roles.”
I’m thrilled to lead this global Business Line and represent the Netherlands as Resident Director. These roles allow me to drive innovation, shape the future of civil engineering, and deliver solutions that create lasting value for communities worldwide.
In 1997, René began his career at Haskoning, contributing to landmark projects and driving international growth. In 2020, he left to lead engineering firm Uticon and returned following its acquisition, taking on the role as Business Unit Director for Industry in 2024.
