Frank Beernaert

With over 20 years of international experience in operations, commercial leadership, and business transformation, I support companies in growth, performance improvement, and organizational change. I combine strategic insight with hands-on execution in environments requiring structure, results, and leadership.

My experience spans sectors such as automotive, chemical, industrial manufacturing, and machinery, with responsibility for P&L, multi-site operations, commercial development, and operational optimization. I have supported organizations in initiatives related to growth, restructuring, process improvement, market development, and international collaboration.

I am typically engaged for assignments involving business unit leadership, operations management, commercial transformation, change management, and performance improvement. My focus is on concrete results: improved margins, stronger processes, clear priorities, and teams that deliver in a more structured manner.

Thanks to my international experience and language skills—Dutch, English, French, German, and practical knowledge of Italian—I navigate complex stakeholder environments and intercultural contexts with ease. My style is pragmatic, direct, and results-oriented.
