About Frank

Met meer dan 20 jaar internationale ervaring in operations, commercial leadership en business transformation ondersteun ik bedrijven bij groei, performantieverbetering en organisatorische verandering. Ik combineer strategisch inzicht met hands-on uitvoering in omgevingen waar structuur, resultaat en leiderschap nodig zijn.

Mijn ervaring situeert zich in sectoren zoals automotive, chemie, industriële productie en machines, met verantwoordelijkheid voor P&L, multi-site activiteiten, commerciële ontwikkeling en operationele optimalisatie. Ik heb organisaties ondersteund in trajecten rond groei, herstructurering, procesverbetering, marktontwikkeling en internationale samenwerking.

Ik word typisch ingeschakeld voor opdrachten rond business unit leadership, operations management, commerciële transformatie, change management en prestatieverbetering. Daarbij focus ik op concrete resultaten: betere marges, sterkere processen, duidelijke prioriteiten en teams die op een meer gestructureerde manier leveren.

Dankzij mijn internationale ervaring en talenkennis — Nederlands, Engels, Frans, Duits en praktische kennis van Italiaans — beweeg ik vlot in complexe stakeholderomgevingen en interculturele contexten. Mijn stijl is pragmatisch, direct en resultaatgericht.
