"l heard Frank speak at numerous events geared towards veteran recruitment and breaking into the finance industry from the military. He is a well-spoken, insightful, and experienced speaker who knows how to engage his audience and deliver a message. His experience, both in the military and in finance, give him credibility and authority on most any subject. On a personal level, Frank has been a mentor to me, and other veterans like me. He is a caring individual who truly preaches career-advancing advice. If you have the privilege of listening to him speak, or to engage with him, I hope you take notes because what he is delivering is truth."

"The list of military veterans with impressive public/private sector resumes is long and Frank's is no exception. What sets Frank apart is his unique ability to break down his experiences and gained wisdom into simple concepts that can resonate with anyone. The first time I met him he was presenting on the relationship between the private side of investment banking and the public side of sales & trading. Prior to meeting Frank, I often found myself in over my head when the vague and complex world of "finance" ever came up. In 30 minutes Frank had given me a comprehensive roadmap, easily internalized, that I use to this day as a Managing Director. Always the optimist, Frank is an inspirational and magnetic spirit. His vast network of relationships built over a career are a true reflection of what a special person he is."

"Frank has a lifetime of success and what I call a mastery of life skills. He has successfully served our country, raised an amazing family, and navigated the difficult world of high finance. Frank is one of the most impactful speakers I have seen. He has the ability to shed clarity, give direction and motivate in a way that connects with whom he is talking to — especially when Frank talks to younger generations. Frank has the ability to capture and hold the attention of those he is talking to, allowing his message to not only be heard, but internalized. Frank's selfless spirit and willingness to share his wisdom has made a meaningful impact on many."

"Frank Van Buren generously shared his compelling story and advice, and it has inspired many in our community of transitioning veterans. His communication skills and ability to explain the complex world of high-finance to an audience, in practical terms that are digestible to the veteran considering this career field, is absolutely vital in our mission to help those who served our nation. I highly recommend Frank Van Buren if you are looking for an energetic, knowledgeable and persuasive speaker to motivate an audience in a positive manner."

Frank's been a leader throughout his life, whether it's as an athlete, military aviator, or senior finance profession, and people follow him because he's constantly communicating the path."
