India-born Anshu Jain had resigned as the Co-CEO of Germany’s biggest bank – Deutsche Bank. He will be replaced by former UBS banker John Cryan, who will serve as the Co-CEO and will become the “sole CEO” after May 19. Cryan, 54, has been on the bank’s supervisory board since 2013.
Anshu Jain is the second Indian to resign from a global bank after Vikram Pandit who stepped down as the CEO of Citigroup in 2012. Anshu Jain spent 20 years building Deutsche Bank into a global investment bank that rivalled Wall Street’s giants.
