Deutsche Bank has announced the appointments of Marie-Jeanne Deverdun and Stefan Hoops to its management board, with effect from 1 May.
Hoops is currently the CEO of asset manager DWS.
Previously, the Asset Management division was represented on the board by James von Moltke, who is due to leave the bank at the end of June 2026 when his contract concludes.
The bank said that Hoops’ addition to the board underlines the significance of asset management in its growth plans.
Hoops will continue as CEO of DWS, which remains a separately listed company.
Marie-Jeanne Deverdun has been appointed chief technology, data and innovation officer on the management board.
She succeeds Bernd Leukert, who will depart at the end of June.
Deverdun has worked at Deutsche Bank for 16 years and recently served as chief operating officer for both the Corporate Bank and Investment Bank.
Brent Phillips, Group chief security officer since 2021, will become a member of the group management committee.
Phillips has led initiatives to improve detection and prevention of cyber and physical threats and has promoted risk awareness within the bank.
The supervisory board has chosen Fabrizio Campelli as President from 1 July.
Campelli will take over from James von Moltke and retain his current roles overseeing the Corporate Bank and Investment Bank as well as responsibilities for the Americas, UK, and Ireland.
Additionally, contracts for Claudio de Sanctis, Head of the Private Bank, and Alexander von zur Mühlen, management board member and CEO for multiple regions, have been extended to 2029.
All appointments are subject to regulatory review.
Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing said: “With these appointments and extensions, Deutsche Bank’s management team is set up extremely well for the next phase in our bank’s evolution. We continue to aim for focused growth and additional efficiencies through a further accelerated implementation of technology including AI across our businesses.”
Deutsche Bank reported a net profit of €7.1bn ($8.5bn) for 2025, almost double the level recorded in 2024. Group revenues increased by 7% year-on-year to €32.1bn.
