Submarine commander with a new mission

‘Boost helps to ignite the spark’

Berend van de Kraats, former submarine commander, is at the forefront of a new way of working and thinking in the Navy (and beyond). The vitality program he started under the name ‘Das Boost’ gave the crew more responsibilities and more room for their own initiative on board. He was given permission to “play outside” for a year. “OceansX is my next mission. The Navy lets me sail out without knowing what I’ll come back with. But with the confidence in movement that always makes a mission worthwhile.”
