Sanjiv Vohra added, “China remains a critical component of Deutsche Bank’s global corporate banking coverage network, and an increasingly significant driver of our regional and global business. We are eager to draw from Frank’s many years of experience in this space and are confident that under his leadership our corporate banking business will grow not only in China, but also with our Chinese
corporate clients overseas.”

Mr. Fang will be based in Shanghai, and will join the bank in late June.
