The
Luxembourg-based securitization company DHF Capital appointed Menno Kooistra as
Chairman of its supervisory board, effective this month. Kooistra spent nearly
three years at Rabobank, where he served as Executive Vice President from
October 2019 to January 2023.
Two-Year Tenure at KPMG
Precedes Appointment
Before
joining DHF Capital, Kooistra worked as a partner in strategy and operations
for financial services at KPMG from January 2023 to October 2025. His career in
consulting spans nearly 30 years, with previous partner-level positions at EY
and a Vice President role at CGI.
“I am
honored to join DHF Capital as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. I look
forward to working closely with the management team to support their strategy,
ensure strong governance, and help the company achieve its long-term
goals,” Kooistra said.
A few
months ago, the company also partnered
with the UAE-based broker Tauro Markets to focus on expanding into the
Middle East.
This is
another C-level move in the retail trading industry following IG Group’s appointment
of David Perry as the new Chief Technology Officer late last week.

Through Governance Overhaul
DHF Capital
CEO Bas Kooijman said Kooistra’s background fits the firm’s plans to expand.
“His knowledge and experience are perfectly aligned with DHF Capital’s
ambitions to continue growing as a trusted and innovative asset manager,”
Kooijman said.
Earlier
this year, the company boasted
a record trading volume of $1 billion and the execution of 10,000 trades in
2024.
The
Luxembourg-based firm manages assets for institutions and high-net-worth
individuals. DHF Capital, founded in 2020, operates offices in Luxembourg, the
Netherlands, Switzerland, Lithuania, and the United Arab Emirates.
Kooistra
also serves on the supervisory board of Woningstichting Barneveld, a position
he has held since January 2018. He previously served as a supervisory board
member at a local Rabobank branch from January 2013 to January 2020.
