Who we are
We are a young and inspired team of nearly 50 professionals setting new standards as an international lender, making a positive difference to our clients by providing them with innovative lending solutions.
Our team comes from 15 different countries, all over the world, including Asia, Latin America, Africa, Oceania and of course Europe. As an international lender, we believe that bringing people together from different backgrounds – and giving them an equal right to debate and input ideas at all levels of the company – is a powerful catalyst for creativity and innovation.
Between us, our team speaks a total of 21 languages: English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Hungarian, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Pashto, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, Cantonese, Mandarin, Indonesian, Hokkien, and Malay. This gives us a unique ability as an international lender to communicate with people from all over the world.
We care deeply about gender diversity, and also fully embrace racial and cultural diversity. Nearly 50% of our employees are women. To us, equality does not mean sameness; people of all gender identities bring differentiated perspectives, and this helps to create a more sustainable international lender. We welcome and embrace these different perspectives and the views of all people in the company, regardless of gender or race. Diversity and gender equality are integral parts of our culture.
The average age of our employees is under 30, and this creates a very stimulating environment. We are not only colleagues but also a close team outside of work.
As a rapidly growing international lender, we are never afraid of a challenge. We have expanded our lending business rapidly across Europe. We always like to add new types of lending solutions to our offering and we are not afraid of entering new markets.
Every year we hire several undergraduates and graduates from university who we take through our multi-faceted training programme which consists of 27 modules, such as cashflow analysis, real estate valuation, legal documentation, credit analysis, etc. All new hires assume real decision-making responsibilities from the first week they join.
In signing the Charter, we endorse the aspiration to achieve greater gender balance across all areas of our business. Our senior management team currently consists of 38% female staff, with an overall approximate 50/50 split between men and women across the company. By signing the charter, we have pledged to promote gender diversity by:
- having one member of our senior executive team who is responsible and accountable for gender diversity and inclusion
- increasing the number of women in senior management to 30% and having at least one female board member by 2021 (as of 11 November 2019 we have one female board member, ahead of schedule)
- setting internal targets for gender diversity in our senior management and publishing our progress against these targets annually
- ensuring the pay of the senior executive team is linked to delivery against these internal targets on gender diversity.

What some of our employees say
Johan
Johan Groothaert co-founded Fiduciam back in 2014 and has been its Chief Executive Officer ever since.
“We are very proud of our team and our culture, they are the most important assets of our company. We are an entrepreneurial, young and dynamic international lender, with a strong focus on delivering quality. We celebrate the creativity our diverse workforce brings us.”
Henrik
Henrik Takkenberg co-founded Fiduciam back in 2014 and carries several senior management roles.
“We are an international lender; our employees speak 21 languages and we have been growing from our London hub by opening local offices, such as in the Netherlands, Spain and Germany. This international dimension sets us apart from many other fintech lenders.”
Louisa
Louisa Holland-Hibbert joined Fiduciam in 2020 as a case manager and now heads our loan origination in the United Kingdom.
“Fiduciam has grown its brand across the UK significantly in the time I have been here. The amount of responsibility and freedom which was given me to grow our Scottish Market, using my own knowledge of the country, away from the central belt and into more remote areas has been particularly motivating”.
Yasmeen
Yasmeen Dufils joined Fiduciam in 2018 as a case manager and is now in charge of underwriting all Fiduciam’s Irish loans.
“I have enjoyed the very steep learning curve since I joined. The ‘can do’ culture encourages us young joiners to assume as much responsibility as we can carry. There are no glass ceilings and management likes to invest in our career progress.”
Cristina
Cristina Villén did an apprenticeship with Fiduciam in 2016, joined as originator in 2018 and now heads our Spanish team.
“It is incredibly motivating to work in a rapidly growing international lender. We entered the Spanish lending market in early 2018 and now we have a Spanish team of seven. I love my job because of the entrepreneurial and dynamic environment; I never thought I would have so much responsibility so early on.”
Marc
Marc Morris joined Fiduciam in 2019 and now leads Fiduciam’s underwriting team for the United Kingdom.
“Fiduciam’s flexible, fundamentals-based approach to lending provides our team with the opportunity to structure loans around the unique challenges of individual businesses across multiple sectors and jurisdictions. We celebrate curiosity and an openness to learn, adapt, and lead.”
Ana
Ana Díaz joined Fiduciam in 2019 as Office Manager and now leads the Marketing and Communications department.
“At Fiduciam, we’re not afraid to be different. Creativity drives every part of what we do; from shaping our brand to structuring funding solutions for our clients. By thinking beyond convention, we find smarter, more agile ways to communicate, connect, and deliver real impact.”
Neal
Neal Skinner joined Fiduciam in 2017, and now leads the Compliance department.
“At Fiduciam, compliance is seen as a cornerstone of trust, not an afterthought. It’s satisfying to work for a lender that balances commercial agility with real integrity.”

Noelle Robbins joined Fiduciam in 2024 and now leads the Investor Relations team.
“I truly enjoy working on the Investor Relations team at Fiduciam because of the dynamic nature of the role.
