Peter Tils, CEO Central and Eastern Europe of Deutsche Bank, said:
“We would like to thank Annett Viehweg for her extremely important contribution to Deutsche Bank in Russia. At the same time, we are delighted to welcome Borislav Ivanov, who brings an exceptional track record for Deutsche Bank in the region. His regional insight, combined with extensive global transaction banking experience, will enable him to take Deutsche Bank to the next level in Russia.”
Russia is and will continue to be one of the most attractive and significant markets for Deutsche Bank in Europe. The bank is committed to continuing to develop its presence in the market. Deutsche Bank has more than 1,200 full-time employees in the country. The bank focuses on growth opportunities for the local global transaction banking business with Russian and international clients, while the investment banking business will continue to be managed from global hubs.
