Corporate Governance

Deutsche Bank was the first international banking group to adopt the dual governance system in Italy: a decision, resolved during the Bank's Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting in April 2008, which brings the Italian structure closer to the administration and control system implemented by the Parent Company in Frankfurt.

In a dual governance system, a Supervisory Board, with members appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting, works alongside a Management Board appointed by the Supervisory Board.

The Supervisory Board oversees all the activities carried out by the Management Board, particularly the approval of strategic initiatives proposed by the latter.

The Management Board is responsible for managing the Group in accordance with the strategic guidelines established by the Supervisory Board.

The Supervisory Board consists of 9 members:

Werner Steinmüller (Chairman)
Paola Schwizer* (Vice Chairman)
Matthias Buck
Stefano Gnocchi*
Amauri Gutierrez Hernandez
Marissa Horvatin
Ralf Leiber 
Jasmine Mathews
Gianmario Verona*
Sandra Wirfs

* Independent Advisor

The Internal Control Committee is composed by Paola Schwizer, Stefano Gnocchi and Gianmario Verona.

The Management Board consists of 7 members:

Roberto Parazzini (Chairman and CEO)
Luca Fachin (Vice Chairman)
Maria Giuseppina Cerè
Silvia Guerrini
Paolo Maestri
Chiara Rossato
