About Mattijs Franken

Mattijs is at his best when content, music, humor, and social relevance come together. You will often find him where genuine curiosity is required and/or where he can express his love for music. Mattijs gladly uses his broad background, curiosity, and extensive diverse experiences as a presenter, moderator, interviewer, radio or podcast maker. Additionally, he also lends his voice as a voice-over to convey various messages. His clients range from corporate to cultural organizations and (semi-)government entities. On the radio, he can be heard nationally on the new Yoursafe Radio (from, among others, Giel Beelen) and he also works for RTV Utrecht.

Mattijs is a highly versatile moderator who often operates at the intersection of content and entertainment and is frequently asked to simplify complex information. He often employs a diverse range of talents and does not hesitate to use his radio or theater experience to add dynamism to an event with music.

From leadership and strategy to innovation and from entrepreneurship to sustainability. Mattijs prefers to immerse himself in something new every day and quickly delves into a wide range of themes.

Since 2012, Mattijs has worked in advisory and managerial roles at the Dutch Railways before taking on the role of responsible (managing partner) for the communication proposition at Frisse Blikken. In these roles, Mattijs gained insight into many large organizations and acquired a wealth of diverse experiences and knowledge. After 10 years of experience on the organizational and agency side, he decided to start his own business.

In addition to his work as a presenter and moderator, Mattijs, after being involved as a volunteer since 2014, works as the managing director/board member of Stichting de Ster (non-profit) to make a significant contribution to the mental health and resilience of children and young people in the Netherlands.
