Deutsche Bank is restructuring its wealth management operations in Germany, bringing together teams that previously served affluent and high-net-worth clients under a single, unified organisation. The move is designed to simplify internal structures, improve agility, and create a more flexible service model for clients whose needs range from digital-first solutions to highly personalised advisory.
The bank described the change as an effort to align more closely with client expectations while building on its strong market position. “We are creating the foundation to further grow our market share from our strong position as number one in German Wealth Management,” said Raffael Gasser, Head of Wealth Management Germany. “Our clients will benefit from an enhanced scope of advisory capabilities and product offering that we tailor even more specifically to their respective needs.”
As part of the new setup, Deutsche Bank has named five regional heads from within its existing leadership bench: Dr. Anke Sahlén will oversee the East region, Britta Camphausen the Southwest, Christian Mangartz the West, Daniel Dalter the Northwest, and Christian Blömer the North. They will be joined in January 2026 by Nasim Amini, who will lead the South Germany region. Amini, described internally as a well-connected leader with a strong track record across client segments, is expected to help deepen the bank’s regional reach and client engagement.
To cater more effectively to digital-native clients, the bank will launch a dedicated unit led by Naveed Arshad, who combines frontline coverage experience with strategic insight. Arshad will assume the role no later than January 2026.
Deutsche Bank is also expanding its capabilities in wealth planning. Lisa-Marie Wöhrle is returning to the bank to head a newly created team that will advise clients on planning, structuring, and transitioning wealth. She will report to Corrado Palmieri. In parallel, the bank plans to scale its Strategic Ultra-High-Net-Worth Clients franchise under the leadership of Stefanie Rühl-Hoffmann, CFA.
Although the bank has not issued a formal press release, the changes were outlined in a public statement on its official LinkedIn page. The restructuring reflects Deutsche Bank’s broader efforts to modernise its wealth management model, reduce complexity, and support growth in its domestic market.
