I'm Frank

I turn chaotic engineering organisations into lean, predictable, high-velocity machines.

Decisive, candid, no-nonsense.

Based in the Netherlands. Working across Europe.

Most organisations move too slowly because they're stuck in endless alignment meetings, perfect slide decks, and the fear of hurting someone's feelings. A love for process over progress.

I believe radical simplicity, fast decisions, and a strong bias for shipping beat yet another "agile transformation" every single time. I've spent the last 12+ years stepping into engineering organisations that needed to move faster: Royal Schiphol Group, NOS, DEGIRO, Ginger Payments, and others. Making the hard calls and leaving them healthier than when I arrived.

No frameworks. No 200-page decks. Just results.

What I'm like to work with

I say what needs to be said, even if it's uncomfortable.
I make decisions the same day, not next quarter.
I kill process that doesn't serve delivery.
I make quick work of clearing fog and uncertainty.
I still code if it helps unblock the team.
Dry humour, strong coffee, zero corporate bullshit.

I'm not for everyone

If you need six months of stakeholder alignment before acting, we won't work well together.
If you want someone who'll validate your current approach, look elsewhere.
If you're ready to move fast and make uncomfortable changes, let's talk.

Started coding in 1999. Still do when it helps unblock a team.: 25 years building software
From team lead to CTO. Companies like Schiphol, DEGIRO, NOS.: 12+ years leading dev orgs
