Frank & the Backs was founded in December 2019 by three experienced entrepreneurs. We have a network of seasoned professionals, ready to support your business to achieve sustainable growth, we call them “Backs”. You might wonder where this name comes from.

Think in soccer-terms; the backs are there to cover the midfielders and attackers. We, as Frank, are the midfielders, like for example Frank Rijkaard and Frank Lampard. Imagine the startup as the attackers, as you are in the frontline of your business. The backs are the persons we have in our network of professionals. Hence the name ‘’Frank & the Backs”.

Our typical Back is an experienced, high level manager, good natured and equipped with excellent skills. The expertise of our Backs encompasses a wide range of industries segments. Name one, and we can find a matching Back to support you, with specific knowledge of your segments and relevant general management experience to support you.
