Dineke moved to the UK from The Netherlands at the start of her working life. Following 14 years in hotel management across London and Oxfordshire she has since built her career in finance and business management. Dineke has worked as a consultant to Professor Noel Fitzpatrick and his associated businesses for fifteen years, where she has supported and advised through the unprecedented growth and expansion that has seen the hospital enterprise go on to become the thriving centre of excellence it is widely recognised as today. In addition, she undertakes private consultancy work across a diverse range of businesses in both the private and charity sectors.
Dineke is one of the original trustees of Humanimal Trust appointed when the charity was started in May 2014, so has been on the journey from day one. As Treasurer, she keeps a close eye on our financial position and advises the Board to ensure we stay financially sound.
