Frank Libertas was born and raised in Rotterdam's Zuidwijk neighbourhood. After completing his pre-university education, he studied various aspects of Dutch law and passed his economics and philosophy exams at Erasmus University. He then went on to graduate in Higher Public Management (MPA) from the Netherlands School of Public Administration in The Hague. Frank worked for decades in various senior advisory and (top) management positions in government (including nine years as deputy municipal secretary of the municipality of Rotterdam) and the business community. He is self-taught in ancient and modern world history, including geopolitics, which is his true passion. He is now an independent entrepreneur and focuses on strategic consulting, management and organisational issues, including mergers and change processes. Over the past four years, Frank has built up a robust body of work, including Gorki in the Netherlands, the Essays, Kyv, Sjtsjek en Choryv, Liliyana Gadyka, Remmers in Permanent Employment, Lacedaemonians, Francesco and Bianca de Medici, Thorbecke 2.0, Pearl Necklace, Valerie and On a Silk Thread, and the Mainstream Media Mafia. Most of the books have been translated into ten languages.
