Frank is one of the founding fathers of impact investing in Europe after he first learned about it in the United States in the early 1990s. He has now a more than 30-year track record of investing his capital for good.
 
In 1994, he started 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. He is a founding member of SVN-Europe and a long-term member of Investor’s Circle. He serves on several international boards.
 
He continues to Put His Money Where His Mouth Is, as investor and advisor in multiple impact enterprises and initiatives. His passion is sailing and he loves nature.
