About Franck Dansaert
Franck Dansaert – Music Composer, Software Developper and Strategy Consultant
Professional Background
Franck Dansaert is a multifaceted French composer. Born in Paris, he began composing and improvising on the piano at an early age. His main career was first built in strategy consulting within the automotive industry, rather than in music. He has nearly 30 years of experience in management consulting, having notably created his Consulting Firm before turning more fully toward composition. He is a graduate of École des Ponts ParisTech.
In addition to his musical and consulting activities, Franck Dansaert is also a proficient software developer with expertise spanning multiple fields, including CRM systems, music software, social networking platforms, and rule-based engine languages, among others. This technical versatility complements his strategic and creative endeavors.
Influenced by Mozart, Beethoven, Samuel Barber, Ennio Morricone, Vangelis, Mike Oldfield, and John Williams, he improvised on the piano for nearly 30 years. After selling his consulting firm about twelve years ago, he devoted his free time to studying harmony, counterpoint, orchestration, and composition, considerably improving his skills.

Current Responsibilities
Franck Dansaert now pursues a dual career:
Music side: As a French composer, he is progressively making a name for himself on the music scene thanks to his unique blend of classical and film music. Based between Paris and Hong Kong, he composes primarily for symphony orchestra and choir, while incorporating modern instruments such as electric guitars and synthesizers. He has a rich and diverse repertoire of 800 works. He has composed 19 symphonies, the 17th of which planned to be premiered by the Italian Philharmonic Orchestra in September 2026 at the Sala Verdi in Milan.
Consulting side: After four years of expatriation in Hong Kong, he has returned to France and stands ready for new stimulating consulting projects. He now presents himself as an Automotive & AI Expert, CxO Advisor, and is a partner and founder at NEW LINK PARTNERS and is offering to its clients consulting services as well as AI Consultant Agents to conduct mass business interviews.
Awards and Musical Collaborations
Franck Dansaert has accumulated numerous composition awards in 2025: Diamond Prize at the International Classical Music Competition 2025 with "Sorry" (first prize), Absolute First Prize at the Bach International Music Competition 2025 in the Choir/Ensemble Music category for "Variations I.a," Master Prize at the Bach International Music Competition 2025 in the Orchestra Music category for "Singapore," Silver Prize at the Mozart International Music Competition 2025, and Silver Prize at the Fenix International Competition 2025.

Current Challenges
The main challenges Franck Dansaert faces are:
Balancing two careers: He navigates between his automotive and AI consulting activity on one side, and his career as a composer on the other.
Recognition in the music world: He is keen to assert that all of his music is written and produced by himself — "NOT AI GENERATED" — an important differentiation issue in the age of AI.
Funding large-scale music projects: He regularly launches calls for donations to support recording projects with major orchestras, as evidenced by his LinkedIn posts.
AI expertise: He publishes articles on agentic AI and the business challenges in Europe, seeking to maintain his credibility as a consultant in a rapidly changing sector.
Current Professional Focus
His primary focus is clearly symphonic composition and film music. He is dedicated to creating compositions rooted in modern and neoclassical traditions, aiming to touch the hearts and minds of a diverse audience. He releases new symphonic, romantic, and epic compositions every week on his YouTube channel. In parallel, he is involved in topics related to artificial intelligence applied to consulting and the automotive industry.
