BERLIN – The Latest on the new CEO at Deutsche Bank (all times local):
11:45 p.m.
Deutsche Bank's supervisory board has appointed Christian Sewing as chief executive officer.
Sewing succeeds John Cryan, who'll leave the German bank at the end of April.
Cryan took over in July 2015 after previous co-CEOs Anshu Jain and Juergen Fitschen stepped down as the bank struggled with uneven profits that were repeatedly eroded by funds set aside for litigation expenses. Rumors Cryan might be replaced after three years of losses had swirled for weeks.
Deutsche Bank's supervisory board also on Sunday appointed management board members Garth Ritchie and Karl von Rohr as new presidents.
