The Frankfurt-listed group has made a number of senior changes, and merged private banking and wealth management in Germany, which had previously been separate entities.

Deutsche Bank has made a series of senior appointments in its home market in Germany, and restructured some of its operations in the country. 

Nasim Amini is joining the bank to run the South Germany region, taking effect from 1 January 2026, according to a Linkedin post from the Frankfurt-listed lender late yesterday. Amini will be joining from HypoVereinsbank. At HypoVereinsbank, he was head of ultra high net worth and investment advisory; prior to this, he worked at Commerzbank for more than 22 years.

Another joiner, reports said, is Naveed Arshad, who will come from Privatbank Hauck Aufhaeuser Lampe to oversee digital solutions for wealth clients.

The bank is also bringing Lisa-Marie Wöhrle back to the fold, a senior banking figure – formerly at UBS – with a wealth planning background. She will take over the lead of the newly-formed wealth planning team, reporting to Corrado Palmieri, head of wealth investment advisory EMEA.

Deutsche Bank said it would also be growing its “strategic UHNW clients” franchise under Stefanie Rühl-Hoffman.

“We are creating the foundation to further grow our market share from our strong position as number one in German wealth management. Our previously separated areas [of] wealth management and private banking will now be merged and more closely integrated,” Raffael Gasser (main picture), head of wealth management for Germany, said in a statement. 

“This creates new development perspectives for our employees. Our clients will benefit from an enhanced scope of advisory capabilities and product offering that we tailor even more specifically to their respective needs – which we will deliver 1-1 or through digital channels based on our clients’ preferences,” Gasser said. 

The bank said it has added five regional head positions from its own ranks: Dr Anke Sahlen (East); Britta Camphausen (Southwest); Christian Mangartz (West); Daniel Dalter (Northwest); and Christian Blömer (North).
