We are happy to introduce you to Luuk Merkx, our new regional director for the Stockholm area:
"In 2020 most of our lives changed due to the pandemic. I was in a new relationship with a Swedish woman, which meant that traveling became a bit more challenging. I was traveling back and forth between Stockholm and Den Bosch (Noord-Brabant). Unexpectedly, the relationship took a different turn with the news that I would become a father. Fueled by a sense of responsibility, I decided to take on the adventure and move to Stockholm.
After 2 years of efforts, the relationship came to an end. It's my connection with my son that keeps me in Stockholm now. Despite the challenges, I see them as opportunities for my personal and professional growth.
During my search for new job opportunities, I discovered the Dutch Chamber at a 'Lunch and learn'-event. Directly I got the feeling that this is a community where I would like to be part of. It enriched my professional network but also led to an amazing opportunity — serving as a Regional Director for Stockholm.
I'm excited about this role and look forward to organizing engaging events with the team, creating spaces for people to connect, share experiences, and build lasting relationships.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about my journey to Sweden. I'm eager to connect with you and others within this community, and also to welcome new members. I'm a strong believer that people who recently moved to Sweden should learn about the Dutch Chamber. It is a great platform to meet like-minded people and feel at home in a different country."
