Theo Rietkerk

Since January 2023 I have been working at RAI Association as Regulatory and Vehicle Technology Policy Advisor. Discipline and perseverance are what drive me in everything I do. While I once started with a passion as a bicycle mechanic, working with my heart, head and hands, I have since gone through many facets of the mobility industry and possess a wide range of knowledge and skills. As mentioned, I started my career as an independent entrepreneur with a bicycle shop, and years later decided to work for a major importer. Over the next 16 years, I had the opportunity to hold many positions ranging from Parts & Accessories, Sales, Homologation to my last years as Manager After Sales and Product Management within the MT. With this acquired knowledge, I want to add value to RAI Association and it is my pleasure to represent the interests of our members.
