Meanwhile, our surety members deliver bonding in diverse industries, including construction, judicial proceedings, licensing and many more.

In remembrance: Rob Nijhout

It is with great sadness that we share the sudden passing of Rob Nijhout.

Rob served as Executive Director of the International Credit Insurance & Surety Association (ICISA) from 2001 until his retirement in 2021. Over two decades of dedicated leadership, he guided the association through pivotal moments, including the 2008 global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, always with steady resolve and deep commitment to our industry.

Rob’s contribution to the credit insurance and surety community was significant and lasting. His leadership helped shape the strong foundation ICISA continues to build upon today.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his partner, Hans, and to his family and loved ones.

For those that would like to (virtually) participate in the final ceremony, this could be done via this link , on Wednesday, 11 March 2026, from 12:30 CET.
