Mark Rutte has spent years quietly building a reputation as one of Europe’s most effective political operators.
Now, as NATO secretary general, he’s trying to keep the world’s most powerful military alliance together at a time of growing global uncertainty.
So, who is Mark Rutte? Niall looks at the leadership style that’s defined his career, how he’s navigating some of the biggest challenges facing NATO, and why his ability to build relationships could shape the alliance’s future.
With insight from Royal United Services Institute director general Rachel Ellehuus, we explore what makes Rutte tick, and what his leadership could mean for the years ahead.
