Frankfurt Deutsche Bank intends to arrange the successor for Karl von Rohr, the outgoing board member for private customers, in April. There is already a date for a supervisory board meeting at the end of April, several insiders told the Handelsblatt. Deutsche Bank did not comment.
According to financial circles, everything is currently coming down to an internal candidate. The insiders did not say who it is about. The head of German private banking, Lars Stoy, and the head of wealth management and international private banking, Claudio de Sanctis, are considered natural contenders for the post of private customer board.
It is considered likely that Deutsche Bank will also make further changes to the governing body. Karl von Rohr is not only responsible for private customer business on the board, but also CEO for Germany and Europe. This responsibility could possibly be distributed to other board members of the bank, it said. In addition, the board could be reduced overall.
