Deutsche Bank Private Bank has built out its UK team with bankers who have deep expertise advising ultra-high net worth clients, family offices and entrepreneurs on complex, cross-border needs, as well as a strong understanding of the strategic, long-term relationships that define this segment.

Deutsche Bank Private Bank has appointed Adam Wereszczynski (right) and Andrew Pryor (left) as managing directors within its UK client coverage team, with immediate effect, based in the UK. They will be responsible for strengthening the private bank’s capabilities for ultra-high net worth clients, family offices and entrepreneurs

They are joining from Royal Bank of Canada, where they were part of the Enterprise Strategic Client Group, leading the group’s UK and European coverage for some of the bank’s most significant global family client relationships. In these roles, they delivered coordinated private banking, wealth management and institutional solutions to multi-jurisdictional clients.

Wereszczynski brings nearly two decades of experience, including 17 years at RBC Wealth Management in UHNW and strategic client coverage, and earlier roles at Barclays International Private Bank. Pryor spent 14 years at RBC, most recently in the Enterprise Strategic Client Group and previously in the UHNW and Family Office Group, following earlier experience at Barclays advising private clients and family offices on institutional-style investment and financing solutions. Together, they bring deep expertise across investment management, banking, lending, structuring and broader strategic advisory needs for ultra-high net worth families and founders.

These appointments will strengthen Deutsche Bank Private Bank’s position as it builds on its momentum in 2026. In its first quarter results, profit before tax was up 39 per cent year-on-year and client assets grew by 4 per cent to €821 billion ($957 billion). Against this backdrop, the bank said that Wereszczynski and Pryor would enhance the its ability to deepen relationships with ultra-high net worth clients and family offices, while supporting its planned expansion in the UK and other key growth markets.

“Adam and Andrew are outstanding additions to our Private Bank," James Whittaker, head of Deutsche Bank Private Bank in the UK, said. "They bring deep experience advising ultra-high net worth clients, family offices and entrepreneurs on complex, cross-border needs, as well as a strong understanding of the strategic, long-term relationships that define this segment. Their expertise and judgement will be invaluable as we continue to build on our strong performance, invest in our UK franchise and accelerate growth across our broader wealth management platform.”
