It is with great sadness that REV Ocean received the devastating news that our colleague, Executive Strategic Advisor Nicolai Roan, lost his heroic battle with brain cancer on July 30th 2019

Nicolai was a cherished member of the REV Ocean team and played a crucial role in the shaping and strategic implementation of our activities. As a key adviser even before REV Ocean was founded, his mark on our work will persist and live on as we fulfil our goals and reach our ambitions. Nicolai was disruptive. He broke new ground and was not afraid to go where others had not gone before. His creativity took us far beyond the conventional boundaries of the possible. During the darkest of times, Nicolai was always positive and supportive of all of his work colleagues. He would never complain and participated in meetings and social events until the last few months.

But what Nicolai taught us above all, was his ability to love, unconditionally. The love he shared with his partner, our CEO, Nina, only grew after the horrible news of his brain cancer. It was an inspiration to us all to witness how Nicolai and Nina supported each other, while caring for their newborn son, Eik.

Our thoughts are with Nina, Eik, their friends and families while we mourn with them the loss of an irreplaceable father, partner and colleague.
