Deutsche Bank’s Head of Mergers and Acquisitions Said to Be Leaving
LONDON — Henrik Aslaksen, the global head of mergers and acquisitions at Deutsche Bank, is preparing to leave the company, according to a person briefed on his departure.
Mr. Aslaksen, who is based in London, has been with the German bank since 2002 and served in a variety of positions, including as co-head for mergers and acquisitions for Europe. He joined the bank from Merrill Lynch.
It was unclear what Mr. Aslaksen, 52, planned to do after his departure, said the person, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
Deutsche Bank declined to comment. His departure was reported earlier Monday by The Financial Times.
Mr. Aslaksen is the latest executive to leave the bank as it reshapes its top leadership.
This month, Deutsche Bank announced that Anshu Jain, one of the company’s co-chief executives, would step down at the end of June and that Jürgen Fitschen, the other co-chief executive, would stay another year but would leave before his contract expired in 2017.
Mr. Jain is to be replaced by John Cryan, a former executive at the Swiss bank UBS.
Deutsche Bank announced in May that Rainer Neske, the head of its retail bank, would leave the bank this month and would be succeeded by Christian Sewing, the head of the bank’s legal department.
