Deutsche Bank has unified its services for wealthy and high-net-worth clients into a single wealth management division.

This reorganisation aims to tailor offerings to meet diverse client needs, from digitally-focused affluent individuals seeking accessible investment options to entrepreneurial families with complex advisory requirements.

The consolidation will streamline operations by reducing management layers.

A new “Wealth Planning Germany division” will also be launched within wealth management, headed by Lisa-Marie Wohrle.

This team will provide expertise in managing complex family assets, developing pension and retirement plans, and facilitating asset transfers.

Wohrle has joined Deutsche Bank from UBS, where she served as head of Wealth Planning Germany. She will now report to Corrado Palmieri, head of advisory and sales wealth management Germany.

Deutsche Bank Wealth Management Germany head Raffael Gasser said: “With this new team, we are strengthening our claim to holistic advice and offering our clients solutions to the important question of how to hand over their assets to the next generation.”

The bank will adopt a six-region structure, similar to its approach for mid-sized companies, fostering closer collaboration with its corporate banking division.

This structure will facilitate holistic advice covering both private and business assets for entrepreneurial families.

To address the growing segment of digitally-savvy wealthy clients, Deutsche Bank is investing in digital platforms and establishing a dedicated entity that combines personal advisory services with digital interactions.

As part of this reorganisation, Deutsche Bank has recruited several key figures from various institutions.

Nasim Amini, formerly with HypoVereinsbank and Commerzbank, will join in January 2026 as head of the Southern region.

Naveed Arshad, previously at Hauck Aufhauser Lampe, will focus on delivering digital solutions for wealth management clients.

Additionally, the bank is expanding its team for high-net-worth clients with entrepreneurial assets, led by Stefanie Ruhl-Hoffmann, with plans to double the number of advisors due to strong client demand.

In May this year, Deutsche Bank obtained a financial services licence from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), allowing it to conduct key regulated activities in the international financial hub.
