Frank is respected worldwide as a business visionary for the bicycle and outdoor industry, and he is amazing at execution. He is an integral part of not only Internetstores, but has also served on the management board at Canyon and Specialized. He's a super humble, strong and very passionate guy and a great cyclist.
Bob Margevicius, Executive Vice President at Specialized Bicycles
“As a member of the board and steering committee for the U.S. business, Frank showed clarity and determination to transform a European online bike manufacturer into a premium global brand, build relationships with investors, and help me build the most important new business unit of the company in North America. He has been a key leader in building the strategic foundation for today’s global success of the Canyon brand and his contributions continue to empower us today. ”
I’ve joined forces with many great leaders and companies across industries, and Frank is one of the best people I’ve had as a strategic partner. He believed in Zwift and our vision early on. He always brings a new, creative and fresh perspective. Frank is a pace setter with great determination and focus on getting things done. A strive for excellence and always out to create solid, genuine and mutually rewarding relationships that build trust.
Eric Min, Co-Founder and CEO at Zwift
“Thanks for all the help you give the product team through your work. You allow people to grow their ideas and themselves as people too rather than the steam roller many are in this kind of position. A true skill or a reflection of personality more likely I think.”
Frank is a goal-oriented, visionary leader and an experienced senior executive who truly understands how to bring out the best in people. He played an important role during this time of digital transformation, market expansion and rapid growth for Specialized. I was impressed with his focus on stability, clarity, and providing a fresh perspective to the executive team. Frank has a vested interest in continuously improving the organization, product and services to achieve the optimal outcome.

Frank thanks for all you have done to move our business forward. Your vision, creativity and ability to apply outside thinking has forever improved the way we work and the way we connect with consumers. Thank you, Frank.
Mike Sinyard, Founder and Chairman at Specialized Bicycles
“It’s so rad how you approach all the strategic topics, even if I always have to question it in my role, that doesn’t mean I’m against such changes and new concepts.”
I was always inspired by Franks strive for excellence, his energy and contagious enthusiasm. He always looked at other companies and industries to push us forward and help us think and do better. Frank is a take-charge person who has the courage to embrace the unknown, and who knows how to proceed with conviction and an inner compass. With emotional clarity and determination, he enabled the team to turn complex problems into simple business solutions. I'm so grateful for the work we've been able to do together - I believe it truly made a difference in elevating women in sport.
