If you’d asked investors a few years ago about Deutsche Bank, the answer might have been cautious at best. Fast forward to today, and the story looks very different.
Someone who has been central to that shift is James von Moltke, our outgoing President and former Chief Financial Officer. Alongside CEO Christian Sewing, James helped launch the bank’s turnaround in 2019, steering it from underperformance and waning investor confidence to record results and ambitions to become European champion.
In this episode of This is Deutsche Bank, James offers a first-hand perspective of that turnaround. Host Michael Steen also asks him his thoughts on the next chapter for Deutsche Bank and for banking, as well as for career advice to any budding bankers listening in.
