Reverse mentoring - looking to be challenged?

Frans focuses on leadership development, organisational change, and cultural transformation. He supports senior leadership in translating complex organisational challenges into practical People & Culture strategies.

While working at Rabobank, he founded and led the organisation-wide Reverse Mentoring programme, pairing young professionals with executive leaders to challenge perspectives, strengthen inclusive leadership, and accelerate cultural change.
