Treasurer

Henk was born in 1968 in Amsterdam to an Irish mother and a Dutch father. Together with his three brothers, he enjoyed a happy childhood in Amsterdam. He is together with his wonderful wife, Ilona, for 38 years already. Together they have two beautiful children. Their daughter Larissa (27) runs an after-school care and daycare center in Amsterdam Zuidoost and will marry the love of her life Mattijs in May. Their son Roy (24) has recently graduated.

Henk has 35 years of experience in the financial services industry, of which he spent the last 25 years as an entrepreneur. On October 1, 2024, he sold his last company, Expat Mortgages, and he is now considering how to spend the next ten years with his excess of positive energy.

“I am a strong advocate for inclusion in every form and hope and expect to contribute to spreading WIFS’s vision among men as well, building bridges in the process.”

Henk served as a director of an Amsterdam sports association for ten years, an organization with a rich history of over 100 years and more than 1,000 members. He is immensely grateful to now hold the title of 'honorary member.'

As a middle-aged white man, Henk feels genuinely honored to have been asked to serve on the board of WIFS. Henk: “I am a strong advocate for inclusion in every form and hope and expect to contribute to spreading WIFS’s vision among men as well, building bridges in the process. I am proud to have served as the moderator at the Accelerate 50/50 event on March 1, 2024, and even more pleased to support the board in a structural role starting November 2024.”
