Deutsche Bank appoints Lisa McGeough as Head of the Americas Region

Deutsche Bank today announced that Lisa McGeough has been appointed Head of the Americas Region and CEO of DBUSA, pending regulatory approval. She will report directly to Fabrizio Campelli, member of the Management Board responsible for the Corporate Bank and Investment Bank, as well as the Americas, UK and Ireland regions. She will join the bank’s Group Management Committee.

“The Americas region is an important growth driver for Deutsche Bank, and Lisa’s extensive commercial experience in both the United States and Europe will allow us to more closely integrate regional management with the regional business divisions,” said Campelli. “We’re looking forward to Lisa joining Deutsche Bank; her deep client and stakeholder network on both sides of the Atlantic will play right into our global Hausbank strategy.”

Paul Maley has served as interim Head of the Americas Region and CEO of DBUSA since Stefan Simon left the bank in May, and will continue to serve in this capacity until McGeough joins the bank in early 2026.

“My colleagues on the DBUSA Board of Directors and I look forward to working closely with Lisa,” said Michael Heaney, Chairman of the DBUSA Board of Directors. “Her experience and background are going to be key for the continued, sustainable growth of our Americas franchise.”

“It’s a true honor to take on responsibility for one of Deutsche Bank’s most important markets at such a pivotal time,” said McGeough. “The Americas business has incredible momentum, and I look forward to working with colleagues across the region to turn that momentum into sustainable, long-term growth for our clients, our people and the franchise.”

McGeough has more than thirty-five years of experience at the highest levels of finance, most recently as President, Chief Executive Officer and Head of Banking for HSBC US with responsibility for all businesses in the US, including Corporate and Institutional Banking coverage.

Prior to this role she served as Co-Head of Global Banking Coverage for HSBC Holdings plc, after joining from Wells Fargo where she served in various senior roles in New York and London including Executive Vice President and Head of International, Co-Head of Corporate & Investment Banking, Head of both the Financial Institutions and Industrials groups, and CEO of Wells Fargo Securities International Limited.
