Kristel Goethals joins DUPI as new CAR Underwriter on 1 January 2026
Rotterdam, 6 October 2025 – On 1 January, we welcome Kristel Goethals as CAR Underwriter within DUPI’s CAR/Engineering team.
Kristel began her career in the insurance industry in 2018 at Delta Lloyd/Nationale Nederlanden, where she gained experience in liability insurance within commercial property and casualty insurance. In 2020, she made the switch to the construction and engineering sector, as Underwriter Construction All Risks/Assembly at Nationale Nederlanden.
For three years, she immersed herself in complex construction projects and the dynamics involved. Since March 2023, she has been working at NN as a Commercial Property Underwriter, further broadening her expertise in risk assessment.
‘Kristel has built up a solid foundation in the construction and engineering market in a relatively short period of time. She combines fresh energy with professional knowledge and gives our team exactly the extra speed and clout we are looking for.
