Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management has appointed Michael Hall as chief operating officer for the UK, to shape the business in Great Britain and allow it to grow “profitably and safely” in an increasingly regulated environment.
Hall previously held a similar role, for EMEA, at Morgan Stanley, and will report at his new, €274bn wealth management employer to Tom Slocock, chief executive of the UK operation, and Carsten Schildknecht, global COO for the private wealth management unit of Germany’s largest bank.
Slocock said: “Our strategy to build a profitable, client-focused business within the changing regulatory environment is boosted by hiring an individual with such vast industry knowledge.”
At Morgan Stanley, Hall oversaw some substantial infrastructure projects, and helped to integrate Quilter in private wealth management.
