Frank explains his early steps into the world of treasury via business analysis, how to evolve your own role in the industry and the importance of finding the right people for your team.

Plus, he provides top advice on why treasurers should remain open-minded and keen to learn throughout their careers.

Frank began his career as an Applications Manager at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam from 2000 to 2002. He then spent a year and a half as a Business Analyst with Deloitte before embarking on his treasury career.

He moved to Wolters Kluwer, initially as Assistant Treasurer, Middle Office, in 2004 before moving to the front office from 2006 to 2009.

Next, Frank took up a role as Treasury Advisor for KPN before joining Philips where he filled a number of positions between 2010 to 2016, later working as Head of Corporate Finance for Philips Lighting until 2019.

Frank then joined CarNext.com as Head of Treasury in 2019 but switched to a role with the same title at C&A in January 2021, where he remains today.
