Deutsche Bank Recruits Julius Baer Veterans for Swiss Expansion
Denny Pole and Weiwei Chen are leaving Julius Baer to join Deutsche Bank’s Swiss operations this September. The move marks a strategic effort to scale the bank's Financial Intermediaries division, as the firm looks to deepen its footprint in European, international, and emerging markets through seasoned wealth management leadership.

Based in Zurich, Pole will report to Hugo van Kattendijke, head of FIM Emerging Markets, and Clemens Kaiser, CEO of Deutsche Bank Switzerland. These appointments fill newly created roles designed to manage external asset manager relationships more effectively. The bank currently maintains Private Bank hubs across key financial centers, including Singapore, Dubai, Hong Kong, and the United States, positioning these hires as a central component of its ongoing growth strategy for the sector.
