Commerzbank Board of Managing Directors:
- Achim Kassow moves to Oldenburgische Landesbank - Ulrich Sieber assumes responsibility for the Central & Eastern European business
At its meeting on May 19, 2011 the Supervisory Board of Commerzbank met with the wish of Achim Kassow, 44, to be released from his mandate as a member of the Board of Managing Directors with effect from July 12, 2011. Ulrich Sieber, 45, is taking over the segment Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) in addition to his current responsibilities for Human Resources and Integration.
Achim Kassow is leaving the bank at his own request to assume the function of Chief Executive Officer at Oldenburgische Landesbank, which is part of the Allianz Group. Oldenburgische Landesbank is the largest private regional bank in Germany, and through its Allianz Bank branch offers banking services for customers and representatives of Allianz in Germany.
Kassow has been a Member of the Board of Managing Directors of Commerzbank since November 2004; during his seven years with the bank he has been responsible for the segments Asset Management, Private Customers and Central & Eastern Europe (CEE). Prior to this he was the Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors of comdirect for two years. Klaus-Peter Müller, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, says: 'Achim Kassow has made a major contribution to the success of the bank. He was responsible for the strategic disinvestments in Asset Management, has clearly expanded our market position in the Private Customers business, and attained the turnaround with our business in Central & Eastern Europe. We regret that Achim Kassow is leaving the bank. I would like to thank him - also on behalf of his fellow Members of the Board of Managing Directors - for his great commitment and I wish him all the very best in his new position.'
Ulrich Sieber, a graduate in banking management, has been Member of the Board of Managing Directors since June 1, 2009 and is responsible for the areas Human Resources and Integration. Before Sieber became the head of Human Resources at Commerzbank in 2006, he had held a number of management positions at Dresdner Bank, J.P. Morgan and Credit Suisse over a period of several years. Ulrich Sieber was, among other things, the head of the Corporate Banking sector at Dresdner Bank. Martin Blessing, Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors of Commerzbank: 'The responsibility for the CEE business is being assumed by Ulrich Sieber, an experienced and expert Member of the Board of Managing Directors, who has already demonstrated his competence in a number of challenging situations.'
