Frank Bouman van Veen

The power of history for tomorrow's world.

My name is Frank Bouman - van Veen, and I bring history to life.

With over a decade of experience both as a professional speaker and corporate manager, I've mastered the art of bridging past and present. As the founder of Frankus Magnus Motivation, I transform historical wisdom into practical solutions for today's challenges.

My background

My journey combines academic rigor with real-world experience. I hold MA degrees from the University of Utrecht and a Business Administration diploma from Nyenrode Business University. Originally specialized in the History and Philosophy of Science of the Late Medieval and Early Modern period, I bring a truly unique perspective to the table.

Why history?

The past often feels like a foreign country where people think differently from us - and that's exactly what makes it so valuable. My expertise spans from witchcraft and sorcery to alchemy and astronomy (with a dash of astrology, depending on the era), along with fascinating worldviews that might seem alien to us today. Yet surprisingly, these seemingly fantastical historical perspectives often hold the key to solving modern challenges.

What I can do for you or your business.

Historically correct speaker

As your speaker, I don’t just dive into history; I also leap into the future! With a generous dose of humor and a treasure trove of historical stories, I ensure that your audience remains captivated. My goal? To connect the past with the present and get everyone thinking. Whether it's the wonders of antiquity or the lessons of more recent history, I make sure every tale is relevant and memorable. You and your guests are at the heart of our adventure, and together we’ll create an unforgettable experience!

Historically good marketing

Imagine your company as a grand ship sailing full speed through history! I’ll take you on a journey through the world of marketing strategies that have proven their worth for centuries. From the clever tactics of Julius Caesar to the innovative ideas of modern businesses, history provides us with the answers we seek. What historical narratives formed our perspective on today's world? And how can we leverage those stories to strengthen your brand? Together, we’ll unravel the secrets of successful marketing and craft a strategy that makes your company stand out.

Moderator or 'Connecting Person'

As a moderator, I am the glue that holds everything together! I ensure that your event runs smoothly by encouraging interaction between speakers and the audience. With my enthusiastic approach and well-prepared content, I turn every event into a dynamic experience. A thought-provoking question here, a sharp comment there; together we create a lively atmosphere where everyone feels heard. Humor and warmth are my key ingredients for success, so your guests leave not only with knowledge but also with smiles on their faces.

Reviews about Frank

Frank got to work with the group and was able to inspire and enthuse them. The examples provided a sense of recognition, and Frank's presentation style is very approachable and open. Highly recommended!
Richard, BMK
Frank establishes beautiful connections to historical moments and brands that resemble us a lot. The message comes across well, and he communicates easily, inspiringly, and responds well to spontaneous remarks. He has planted seeds and made us think. We will definitely invite him again to brainstorm together.
