Deutsche Bank’s Former CFO Has His Eye on a CEO Role
Deutsche Bank President James von Moltke, who earlier this year stepped down as finance chief, is figuring out what’s next after his contract with the German lender ends this month. While hiking is on the agenda, he ultimately may seek out something a bit more ambitious: becoming a CEO.
Von Moltke, age 57, stepped down as CFO in March, succeeded by Morgan Stanley executive Raja Akram, but has continued to serve as president. During his nine years as finance chief and on the management board, von Moltke oversaw a tumultuous period at the bank, during which it shrank and reorganized its investment bank, refocused on its home market, and navigated market shocks including the pandemic.
