FTE Group

What FTE Group does

FTE Group (FTE Groep B.V.) is a privately held Dutch management and technology consultancy headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands, founded in 2006. The firm deploys approximately 100 professionals — internally branded as "Business Improvers" — on change, data, and project management assignments for clients in the Dutch financial services sector (pension funds, pension executors, insurers, banks) and the public sector (government institutions). Named clients include APG, PGGM, Rabobank, a.s.r., Blue Sky Group, and Provincie Noord-Brabant, with engagement types spanning business analysis, change management, data-driven working implementation, PMO support, test management, and system migration (e.g., to SAP and new pension administration platforms).

The company's service portfolio is organized into two primary lines: Business & Change (Business Analyst, Change Manager, Process Consultant, Data Specialist, Pension Specialist) and Project Management (Project Manager, PMO, Scrum Master, RTE, Agile Coach, Product Owner). Supporting these are the FTE Academy (internal training in Power BI, Data Literacy, OutSystems, R) and gamified/assessment tools (Data Escaperoom, Data Ambitie Quickscan). The firm co-develops joint solutions with technology partners — notably Axini (pension administration platform) and Miqado (transition/migration platform) — and maintains a dedicated advisory offering for the new Dutch Pension Contract (NPC) transition ahead of the 2026 regulatory deadline.

FTE operates a results-based, project-based pricing model rather than hourly billing, generated through direct enterprise engagement led by business managers. The firm is funded entirely through internal operations (no disclosed external funding), with revenue mechanics tied to consultant utilization on multi-year client contracts. Leadership transitioned in approximately 2023 when Vivian assumed the Algemeen directeur role from Denis Slootman. The company is single-country (Netherlands) and has no disclosed subsidiaries, M&A activity, or geographic expansion plans, though it has signaled ecosystem diversification via an equity stake in Rond.
