Who's Moving Where In Wealth Management? – Deutsche Bank, Russell-Cooke
The latest moves and appointments for wealth management roles in the UK, other parts of Europe, the Middle east and select international locations.
Deutsche Bank
In line with Deutsche Bank's plan to become a leading
provider of ESG solutions, the firm has appointed Markus Müller
as ESG chief investment officer, in addition to his role as
global head of the firm’s CIO Office.
His appointment is a response to an ever-deeper focus on the
topic to meet client needs and address future ESG developments
within the CIO office, the firm said. It believes that a
fast-evolving ESG environment requires strong thematic ESG
thought leadership.
According to Deutsche Bank,
Müller raised the importance of ESG at an early stage and, due to
his in-depth knowledge, he is a highly regarded market expert in
this field, both internally and externally. He is also a
published author of many articles and books on ESG, economic
transformation and other related matters.
Müller will work with regional CIOs and the strategy team, as
well as the newly-formed product platforms and sustainable
solutions group, to promote the bank's ESG agenda from a markets'
perspective, the firm said.
