Great minds think alike. 😊 This morning at our Deutsche Bank daily global newsroom meeting, it looked like Frank Hartmann, Helmut Tolksdorf, Hanswolf Hohn and I had agreed how to dress today – much to the amusement of our dear #Comms & #CSR colleagues. Good mood ahead of our #AGM on Thursday! #DBblueShirtCrew

Looking forward to (soon) welcoming a new colleague! Helmut Tolksdorf will be joining Deutsche Bank as the new Head of Communications for the Private Bank in Germany on 1 April 2024. Helmut began his career in political communications at the Lufthansa Group, where he spent 16 years in various positions, ending with Head of Media Relations. He will be joining us from HypoVereinsbank - UniCredit - Deutschland where he is currently responsible for topic management. Many thanks to Dr. Klaus Winker who has taken excellent care of the Private Bank Germany’s internal and external communications on an interim basis in recent months following the departure of Tim Rehkopf (How is life in Hanover?). Klaus will continue to be “in charge” in the weeks ahead, until the arrival of Helmut, before once again heading up press activities for the Private Bank in Germany.   Helmut, Klaus, looking forward to (continue) working with you! #teamDB Lars Stoy, Dr. Dominik Hennen, Sebastian Jost, Anke Hallmann #PrivateBanking #United4Growth

Have already done this before … but need to share it again … Deutsche Bank towers in Frankfurt, floor 27, 8:43 CET. Always impressive.

One of the most exciting and currently a very demanding job in financial / banking communication — with a great team around you. Apply and maybe join #teamDB!

Closing the week with a lovely event: Today, 12 members of the International Strategy & Business Management Graduate Programme of our Deutsche Bank Private Bank are visiting us at #Communications & CSR as part of their orientation training. We are spending half day talking about the role and relevance of internal and external communication and how we run it for the Private Bank, including a visit to our TV studio. Thank you to my comms colleagues Monique Illing, Michael Steen, Felix Winnands, Volker Klak and Dr. Markus Weik for their presentations and insights. Thanks for being with us Raphael Schuch, Maximilian Schmitt, Julia Grams, Simon Köllemann, Julius Scholl, Phuong Anh Vo, Fabian Goldschmidt, Luca Dähn, Laura Ximena Zape Jiménez, Nick Holtzmann, Jiaqi Zhang and Yiming Hu. We hope you enjoy(ed) it! The Graduate Programme is a 12-month journey across the Private Bank with the aim to start a Deutsche Bank #career in an area of choice. The graduates will then be offered a permanent contract with us. Registration for the next cycle will open soon – so don’t miss out! Thank you Mareike Coppi and Melanie Maier for setting up this great day! #teamDB

Very good mood yesterday with Deutsche Bank Management Board Member and Head of Private Bank Claudio de Sanctis and his CFO Matthias Hauser at the internal leadership call on the H1 and Q2 results of Deutsche Bank's #PrivateBank. For good reason: 👉 In the first half of 2023, our Private Bank net revenues increased by 10 percent to a #recordresult of EUR 4.8 billion. 👉 Assets under Management (#AuM) grew in the first half, up by EUR 23 billion in the first six months to EUR 541 billion, driven in part by net inflows of EUR 13 billion. Excellent results in which Claudio thanked the entire team, but also Karl von Rohr from whom he took over as Head of Private Bank on 1 July 2023. With this tailwind, the second half of the year is welcomed! #teamDB #privatebanking

Good outlook? Once a quarter our Deutsche Bank Chief Investment Officers give our clients an outlook on capital market dynamics and investment opportunities. This time again there were various insights: 👉 The headline #inflation is coming down, but the core inflation is expected to remain on an elevated level for quite some time 👉 For investments in #equities, a closer look at the sector as well as earnings expectations and valuations is needed, and so are diversification and active management 👉 Our CIOs see opportunities in different #bond market segments, first and foremost in USD as well as EUR investment grades 👉 They believe in a positive development of Chinese equities as the economic stimulus in #China is gaining steam and due to interesting valuations 👉 To hedge against risks, use #gold and benefit from its tailwind due to a weaker US dollar For me as a moderator, this was also an insightful conversation with my colleagues Christian Nolting, Zeynep Ozturk and Stefanie Holtze-Jen, CFDS (in Singapore). And on the question whether one can wear a dark blue tie with a black suit: no. But these things happen when you are in a hurry to bring the kids to school … 😉 #teamDB #CIOInsight #privatebanking #tiebreak

This is exciting and will be fun. Very much looking forward to this journey with Claudio and the #PrivateBank team of Deutsche Bank. #teamDB

Since returning to Deutsche Bank on 1 December last year, I have had the pleasure to support the bank’s President and Management Board member Karl von Rohr as Head of Communications for the Private Bank. As of today, we know that Karl will hand over his duties as Head of Private Bank to Claudio de Sanctis on 1 July. Claudio will then move up to the Management Board of Deutsche Bank. (Congrats!) It has been great to see the smooth and harmonious transition of duties first-hand. And while I’m looking forward to continue to support Karl until the end of October, the cooperation with Claudio has already begun. That's how you want a transition to be. #smoothtransition
