Zug – 01/09/2025 – Rowing 3,000 Miles for Hope – Risk, Courage, and Commitment in Action
At Inspired Solutions LLC, we work daily with independent risk engineers—professionals who navigate complexity, identify risk and vulnerabilities, and develop strategies to create resilient workplaces for our clients. But sometimes, the most lifesaving risk assessments happen far from the workplace.
We are proud to sponsor one of our own associates, Eivind Helland, who will take on an extraordinary challenge: rowing across the Atlantic Ocean from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean—3,000 miles of open sea, unassisted. This journey is part of the United4Hope – Rowing Together for Hope project, supporting the Hope Social Foundation in their mission to create opportunities and dignity for people facing homelessness.
This is not just a physical feat—it’s a mental and emotional one. Like crossing an ocean in a rowing boat, effective risk engineering requires:
⚙️ Technical Expertise: Understanding systems, calculating exposures, and preparing for all scenarios—whether it’s resilience to what the ocean throws at you or disruptions in a supply chain.
🧭 Human Resilience: No model or tool can replace the value of endurance, clearsightedness andpreparing for the unknown. These human elements are at the core of both ocean rowing and professional risk engineering.
🤝 Trust and Teamwork: Even when rowing in a small team, Eivind relies on a support network. Just like our associates collaborate with clients to chart a course through risk and uncertainty, he embodies the spirit of partnership that defines our work.
💚 Values in Action: Supporting this initiative is part of our broader ESG commitment. It reflects our belief that taking meaningful risks for a better world is not only admirable—it’s necessary. We want to champion those who push boundaries and bring hope through action.
We believe that the motivation to achieve what seems impossible is what drives innovation, fosters resilience, and inspires change—in the ocean, in society, and in business.
Please join us in cheering on Eivind and the team and supporting this cause. Let’s show that risk, when embraced for a purpose, becomes a force for good.

Zug – 15/05/2025 – Consolidated turnover increase of 32% CAGR in 2024
As Inspired Solutions LLC looks back on its 15th anniversary, the company announces further substantial revenue growth. Rob Hoobroeckx (Managing Partner and CEO) commented –
“In both 2023 and 2024 Inspired Solutions LLC grew revenue at over twice its long-term average. We attribute this success to our investment in our client relationships and network of highly experienced field engineers. Our commercial partnerships will always be our key focus, supporting account engineers and underwriters as they develop existing and new markets and territories. Clients appreciate our very high levels of customer responsiveness and flexibility to adjust to their specific needs.
While 2023 was marked by a significant build out of our capabilities and geographical reach, 2024 allowed us to develop and deploy those capabilities. We think the results speak for themselves.”
Positive Client Impact
“Our consistent double digit CAGR since 2009 is a reflection of our commitment to our core offering, while adding value through bespoke industrial risk consulting. New country coverage continues to be a key priority as we seek to provide local risk engineering solutions and reduce our carbon footprint” Hoobroeckx stated.
Zug – 29/04/2025 – Founded in 2009, we look back on what it takes to be more than a flash in the pan
20% of new businesses fail within the first two years. 45% of new business startups don’t survive the fifth year. Only 25% of new businesses make it to 15 years or more. We ask Rob Hoobroeckx, founder and CEO what his secret sauce is.
“A lot of founders talk about having an idea, with an unshakable feeling it’s a profitable niche and then dive right in with their new enterprise. While this enthusiasm might sustain you through the lean first years, finding a deep enough pool of paying customers is usually the make or break. The beauty of the Inspired Solutions model was combining my passion for doing field engineering with an already addressable market to dip into. The only thing I did was forecast the market for ‘on demand’ risk engineers would grow over time, allowing teams at larger insurers to better manage their workflow with freelance specialists. I developed my franchise in this area long before contracting platforms like FIVRR came along.
While I was quite happy doing this on my own for a while, the confluence of a number of market forces meant requests for inspection capacity swelled. I noticed that a lot of engineers were leaving or retiring and insurers where losing experienced hands faster than they could replace them. I found I could entice those entrepreneurial, retired or semi-retired engineers back to do risk engineering work on their own terms. The insurers got their specialists on demand, and the engineers continued to do the work they loved. Everyone was happy. This was long before Covid-19 made working flexible and I could only see the talent pool getting deeper over time. We were tapping the risk engineer demographic tailwind, so to speak.
The second helpful factor was the changes in the commercial insurance market. Underwriting profits in CI had been scarce for some time, and underwriters wanted more risk differentiation. This supported our revenue till the market ‘came to it’s senses’ and the cycle hardened. By that time the franchise was established, but our secret sauce while riding the upswing is never treating risk engineering as a commodity. This is where some of the bigger competitors are losing their edge. All our assignments are individual business decisions that require a balance of the right skills, people and service to the client.
So, what has put me in the 25% of business survivors after 15 years? Having great clients, focus on the needs of the teams we work with, dependability and a quality product. If you have these things, then everything else should work itself out!
