New way of climate and energy steering

After a career in sports and advertising, Frank was lying on the beach in Croatia in 2003. There he read a book that changed his life. 'The Hydrogen Economy' by Jeremy Rifkin. A book that made him realise how important energy is going to become for our society and sustainability. And for Frank, that was the spark he needed to dedicate himself to the energy market.

With full commitment, Frank plunged into the world of energy, conservation and control. He ended up in various roles at Vanbeek and Priva. Until he came across self-learning and predictive energy controls. Today, Frank works on making VBoptimum successful. As an entrepreneur, as an inspiration and as a colleague. By giving presentations, training technical service providers and carrying out beautiful projects with our specialists. VBoptimum has become a life's work. With a personal mission to make predictive and dynamic energy controls standard in all buildings.

Frank is married, has three children and lives in the Nijmegen region. Besides his work, he enjoys cycling, running, skiing and taking trips with his family.

A bon vivant and proud of his wife and children. Frans is a football coach with EUFA TC3 diploma and loves to train and educate youth so that players become a better version of themselves both in sport but also as human beings. Because Frans has an eye for mutual interests and specific goals, he builds strategic relationships between VBoptimum and its associates.

But if you thought our Frans was a one-trick pony, you are wrong. Because on the dance floor too, he knows how to make his moves as a ballroom dancer and loosen his hips with his Latin American-style dances.

An enthusiastic and driven team player. Energy seems inexhaustible with Jorret. Does not mince his words, but also knows exactly what he is talking about technically. With more than 25 years of experience in installation technology, control technology and now Digital Twin-based controls. Jorret even resigned from Priva to focus full time on VBoptimum with ecoBuilding's intelligent controls. Together with installers and system integrators, he works daily to implement Digital Twin and give customers insight into their installations.

But also in his spare time, Jorret is enormously driven. Together with his buddy Charlie (German shepherd), he is fanatical about dog sports. And even conquered third place at the World Championships in Austria in 2022. Together with his wife and daughter, he also likes to play a game of tennis and enjoys their many outings. Jorret, also take a day off boy😉

A beautiful dog and especially the pride of Jorret. He was 3rd at the world championships in Austria, with even xxx on the biting part. With much love and passion, Jorret and Charlie work at the sport they visibly enjoy together. A strong dog, tremendously well-trained and a value participant in our team.

Down-to-earth, realistic and intelligent. With sound knowledge of control technology and mechanical engineering, Maurice works with customers and installers on a daily basis. A role that suits him perfectly with his 'just act normal, you'll be crazy enough' attitude. Maurice enjoys transferring the beautiful techniques we have to fellow professionals and training them. And to show customers what we can do. To make installations perform better and save energy.

Besides work, Maurice is father to three children. Together with his wife, they can be found next to the hockey pitch, at the many local events in Oosterbeek and during numerous activities with the kids.

A valued colleague and inquisitive specialist. Misja listens, waits and analyses. Asks sharp questions when necessary and then knows exactly what to build. Misja builds software and develops rapidly in the world of data science. From his education in computer science and from his personal drive to make processes better.

Misja is cohabiting and has decided to wait a little longer with children. Wise Misja😉, great to see you there!
