Prior to this, Dijkstra worked in Amsterdam as a trader at quantitative proprietary trading firm Quantlab Group, a role she held for more than three years.
Earlier in her career, she also served as an analyst at Deloitte Nederland for a three-month stint.
Citadel Securities had not responded to a request for comment at the time of publication.
Dijikstra’s promotion marks Citadel Securities’ most recent Europe-based move, and in August, the firm appointed Zeyad Elnaqa as a client execution trader in Dublin.
Elnaqa focuses on US equities in his new role and joined from UBS, where he spent two and a half years as an electronic sales trader.
