Frans Cruijssen

I am passionate about both academic rigor in research and strategies with practical value. After my PhD study I gathered some corporate experience at ABN AMRO and TNT Express, and after that I started my own company to apply my gathered academic insights commercially. I always remained connected to academia through part-time jobs, thesis projects and guest lectures. I am strongly motivated to make my talents and experience useful for societal goals.
