Deutsche Bank has appointed Vathany Vijayaratna as CEO of its UK and Ireland (UKI) business.
In the role, Vijayaratna will oversee all divisions of the bank and develop its franchise in the region. She will report to Fabrizio Campelli, the management board member responsible for the firm’s corporate and investment bank and UKI operations.
Vijayaratna has more than two decades of industry experience, all of which has been spent with Deutsche bank. She was appointed global head of fixed income and currencies structuring, in 2018, before becoming head of non-financial risk for the investment bank in 2022.
Commenting on her appointment, Vijayaratna says: “Deutsche Bank’s connection to the UK and Ireland is longstanding and deep, built over 150 years of serving our clients in the region. I look forward to working with our team to deliver on the opportunities for growth in the region and support our clients’ needs.”
Campelli adds: “Vathany has demonstrated all the skills required to take our franchise forward: a deep understanding of the bank and its capabilities, strong knowledge of non-financial risk management and 20 years’ experience of working with clients around the world across a range of asset classes. Throughout her long career with Deutsche Bank, Vathany has proven herself a strong and effective leader.
“We see significant opportunities to grow our business further [in the region], and that’s why we are investing in the UKI through our recent acquisition of Numis and the development of our expanded new London headquarters, as well as our investment in technology and people.”
