We are delighted to welcome him to our firm and through his leadership extend Boyden’s global interim management expertise to our clients.

I was immediately invited into client teams and engaged in delivering on high-level interim management needs. I look forward to building this part of Boyden’s business in the Netherlands, transforming leadership for clients to optimise their growth prospects.”
Bas Fransen has more than 20 years’ experience in senior-level interim management, and a track record in building business through strategy, change management, account management, business development and sales management expertise. He is founder and owner of a big data start-up and previously founder and owner of a European executive search and interim management firm. He has significant expertise in big data, technology, industry, private equity and venture capital, as well as professional and financial services. Bas holds a Master of Science in Tax Law from Maastricht University and completed the specialist Interim Management Program at Nyenrode Business University.
