GG VanDijk

Emma Van Dijk argues shipping cases for a Rotterdam firm, the youngest associate on her floor and the one sent in when a negotiation needs sharpening. She keeps the courtroom manner for the office. What she brought home from it is a sense of when the other side is short of time, and that is when the cube arrives: not when the position peaks, but when you have four minutes left and a decision that deserves ten. She is entirely open about it and regards any complaint as evidence that it works. Her grandfather taught her the game on a canal boat and claims credit for the style while accepting none of the blame.
