Omni Bridgeway is delighted to welcome Job van Ballegoijen de Jong to the team.   Job is an Investment Manager based in Amsterdam, where he is responsible for origination across Omni Bridgeway’s investments in the EMEA region, most notably the enforcement of (sovereign) awards and judgments, international arbitration matters and our wider litigation funding efforts. Prior to joining, Job worked at the top-tier firm De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek in Amsterdam, first as a senior associate, and then as Head of International Relations. We asked Job a few simple questions to get to know him a little better: Q: Why did you decide to move from private practice into the world of funding? After 11 years at my old firm, I decided it was time for something new, but not just anything. After being connected with Omni Bridgeway, I felt my prior experiences as a lawyer and as head of international relations really came together: having the legal way of thinking and assessing whether a claim is viable, and knowing the law firms throughout EMEA whose clients may benefit from funding. By talking to Omni’s Investment Managers, I became even more excited, and that hasn’t stopped since I joined. Q: What was the highlight of your time working at De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek in Amsterdam? Can I give two? One was a week-long hearing in London where we managed to break down the opposing party’s expert until he acknowledged everything we said was true and his own client’s statements were false. And the other was when I was in international relations and had to organise my firm’s presence at the IBA conference in Paris. 75 bilateral meetings, dinners, lunches, receptions, all meticulously prepared, and apart from one meeting in which one of my partners thought our counterparts belonged to that firm’s biggest rival, everything went smoothly. Q: What is the best piece of advice you have ever gotten at work? Own your mistakes and learn from them. Q: What celebrity do most people say you look like? I wish people said I look like a celebrity! Though two girls in a bar in New York once said I look like Bradley Cooper, which I consider a compliment. Q: What movie do you wish you could watch again for the first time? Love Actually. Although re-watching it and knowing it by heart is also great fun. Q: What is your go-to karaoke anthem? A good karaoke song in my view an up-tempo banger (or an iconic ballad), so I have to pick Shake It Off, by Taylor Swift Q: What did you want to be when you grew up? My dad was a parfumier, and I am also gifted with a big nose, so I wanted to follow in his footsteps. Q:  You can visit any fictional time or place. Which would you pick? Hogwarts. No doubt about it.
