Did you know the average career spans about 80,000 hours? It represents a remarkable opportunity to create impact. Ro-Next is organizing this year’s flagship event ‘Redefining Impact: Build a Meaningful Career’, with the help of DUFAS, welcoming Marnix Kluiters to the Robeco’s HQ. Drawing on his personal story, Marnix will share how a series of setbacks led him to rethink success, purpose and the choices that shape a meaningful career.
About Marnix Kluiters
Marnix is an author, speaker, board member, and advisory council member. He is driven by a desire to make profound ideas accessible to a broad audience in an inspiring way. He has a strong passion for sustainability and, in 2018, launched the Ecosofie Podcast, where he explores how economics, ecology and philosophy can be brought into balance.
Rethink success. Define your own path.
His story speaks directly to the Ro-Next community. Many young professionals are exploring questions around career progression, ambition, and fulfilment. Through a series of leadership lessons, Marnix will offer practical insights on choosing a professional path with clear intent and careful thought, as well as making the most of the opportunities and challenges along the way. Rather than focusing on technical expertise or industry trends, he invites us to step back and consider a broader question: how do you build a career that feels right for you?
The session will give early-career professionals practical perspectives on making intentional decisions, navigating setbacks, and aligning their strengths with their long-term ambitions. By reflecting on your values, motivations, and strengths, you can make more deliberate choices and shape a career that is both meaningful and impactful.
