Frederik Johannes Diederik "Frits" Goldschmeding (2 August 1933 – 26 July 2024) was a Dutch billionaire businessman, founder of Randstad NV, one of the largest staffing companies worldwide.
[3] Goldschmeding founded Uitzendbureau Amstelveen (later Randstad) with fellow economics student Ger Daleboudt in 1960, while studying at Amsterdam's Vrije University.
The two came up with the idea for the business as they were cycling back from a fraternity party at 2:00 a.m.
[3] Goldschmeding took Randstad public in 1990, and in 2008, merged it with the Dutch group Vedior.
According to Forbes, Goldschmeding had a 35% stake in the company, and a net worth of US$5.8 billion, as of July 2024.
