Frank van Beuningen

Secretary

Frank is one of the pioneers of Impact Investing in Europe. He first heard about it in the United States in the early nineties. He now has a track record of more than 30 years investing for a better world.

In 1994, he founded Pymwymic, the “Put Your Money Where Your Meaning is Community.” Under his leadership, the first pioneers in impact investing brought Ben & Jerry’s to the Netherlands and invested in around fifty start-ups, including the disruptive FairPhone. Since 2017, the ever-growing Cooperative of European investors has focused on regenerative agriculture and healthy food. The funds are managed in a Steward Ownership structure. 

Frank has launched many other initiatives to develop impact investing in Europe. In addition, he is one of the founders of the Donor Impact Invest Fund. .

Even now, by investing his wealth, he remains true to 'put your money where your mouth is', as an investor in and advisor to impact enterprises and initiatives. His passion is sailing and he has a great love for nature.
