Frans Meijer

Frans coaches management boards, partnerships, and divisions within professional organisations. He works on a daily basis with attorneys-at-law, judges, medical specialists and other professionals. His background is in law, industrial psychology and organisational psychology, and he is a registered mediator with the Netherlands Mediation Institute (NMI).

His face is familiar in many major national and international organisations, in the legal, healthcare and educational fields. Known for adopting a clear position on issues, Frans is a fast thinker – sharp, single-minded and to the point. These qualities make him an effective partner for board members and executives. Frans has a flair for devising clear, concise plans that produce real results.

Several of Frans’ publications have aroused public interest. He lectures regularly, including at Utrecht University and for the Dutch Bar Association.

His special theme is coaching the management board on issues of (un-)manageability for partnerships and professionals.

Frans founded the Meijer Consulting Group (MCG) fifteen years ago. MCG has ten senior consultants and a professional support staff. MCG has been an accredited short-term vocational education bureau since 2010. The bureau’s priority areas are boardroom consulting, management consultancy, coaching, training and assessments.
