Management in Frankfurt.
He has also held several senior positions at DWS, including head
of Asset and Wealth Management in Japan, and global co-head of
Client Solutions at DWS in Frankfurt. Before moving to the client

institutional clients in portfolio management.
He began his career at Deutsche Bank in Munich, moving to asset
management and multi-asset portfolio management while still a
student at the University of Innsbruck.
Welcoming the move, Karin van Baardwijk, CEO, said: “His
extensive background in portfolio management and experience in
investment solutions, combined with his knowledge of our
organisation, make him a great fit for the role of global head of
sales and marketing and member of our executive committee.”
“His international mindset and experience at well-known asset
management companies will be of added value to our executive
committee and organisation," she said.
Preininger said: “The company’s intellectual property is world
class and has produced investment capabilities that rank amongst
the best in the world in the areas of quant, credits, trends
and thematics, sustainable investing and emerging
markets."
