As a child, Frenk moved with his family to Spain. This adventure—learning a new language and culture and adapting to new circumstances—gave him energy. After high school, he wanted to explore the world even further and decided to return to the Netherlands to join the Korps Mariniers, where his military career began.
Dutch Special Forces
After a few years, Frenk sought more specialized work in small, independently operating teams, aiming for maximum impact with minimal resources. He joined the Dutch Special Forces, the Korps Commandotroepen. After completing the 1.5-year training program, he carried out numerous secret operations in Africa and the Middle East across various specialisms.
Author of Green On
Over more than ten years, Frenk mastered teamwork, communication, and performance under high-stress conditions in all corners of the world. Fascinated by people within organizations and achieving goals together, he decided to write a book about his experiences and the applicability of certain principles for any team or organization. He translates this knowledge and experience for a broader audience under his motto “Every day a little better.” The remarkable success of his book has generated significant interest and spin-offs.
Frenk as Speaker
The birth of his daughter prompted Frenk to leave the military and focus entirely on inspiring, training, and guiding teams using these principles. His goal is to create greater impact and increase workplace satisfaction by empowering individuals and helping people achieve impressive results together through their own strengths and dedication. Today, Frenk runs ThreeFront with former colleagues and draws enormous energy from training and mentoring others in the broadest sense. He is a highly sought-after speaker and experienced trainer, eager to show how teams can work in the most enjoyable and productive way.
