 Finance, Transformation & Business mentoring

 “BST Thinkers connects vision, innovative solutions, and human potential. For leaders who dare, who share, who wish to transform together.”  

Frederik Evrard is not just a seasoned leader in finance and transformation: he is the visionary founder of BST Thinkers, a collective designed to reinvent how entrepreneurs share expertise, values, and success on a European scale.

After more than twenty years leading teams, transforming organisations, and guiding major transitions in international groups (Accenture, KPMG, CGI, Reuters, ABN Amro), Frederik has developed a deep conviction that sustainable success arises from the synergy between strategic rigor, human performance, and collective intelligence.

Why did he envision BST Thinkers?

Frederik observed that, too often, business success hinges on the boundary between shared knowledge and individual know-how. He wanted to bring together in one community:

  • Entrepreneurs and mentors with experience
  • Open, demanding, and authentic experts
  • Solutions that are both technological, human, and adaptable
For him, BST Thinkers should become the platform where everyone benefits from the network effect, cross mentoring, transparent sharing of methods and successes, to learn, succeed, and innovate faster — but also to remain aligned with ethics, humanity, and the desire to pass on knowledge.

What Frederik brings as a founder:

  • A humanising leader's stance, a catalyst for collective intelligence and the joy of acting together.
  • A sense of the concrete and of 'business pride', always tinged with empathy and active listening.
  • The energy of a mentor who guides, challenges, and enables everyone to reach their own summit.
  • The strategic, operational, and resolutely human impetus of the BST Thinkers Institute, which he has structured as the 'booster' of skills and vocation for the collective.

Frederik Evrard is the root, the impetus, and the soul of the BST Thinkers collective: a connector entrepreneur, who believes in the power of a new generation of entrepreneurs, united to act with impact, humanity, and shared intelligence.
