“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” — Eleanor Roosevelt **Embracing New Horizons: A Grateful Farewell to Deutsche Bank** Today marks the end of a significant chapter in my career with Deutsche Bank, and I am filled with deep gratitude and a profound sense of fulfillment. As someone who started here straight out of college, I entered the corporate world of Finance and Investment Banking with limited awareness of its complexities and challenges. The past 2 years have been transformative, offering me invaluable experiences, skills, and relationships. While it is bittersweet to part ways with such a pivotal part of my life, I am excited about the new opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Throughout my tenure, I had the distinct privilege of working across two exceptional teams, each presenting unique challenges that honed my expertise and expanded my skill set. Managing a range of complex financial products—including Fixed Income, Derivatives, Collateral Management (cash and securities), FX Cash, FX Spot, FX Options and FX Forwards—required a deep understanding of market dynamics, risk management, and regulatory requirements. These experiences significantly refined my technical abilities and strategic thinking. Additionally, my involvement with the Deutsche Bank Sports Committee has been a highlight of my time here. Organizing a diverse array of events—from competitive tournaments to wellness programs—allowed me to blend my passion for sports with leadership and event planning. This role was not just about orchestrating activities but about fostering a sense of community and connection within the organization. Leaving Deutsche Bank is a decision made with much reflection, yet I am invigorated by the prospect of new challenges and opportunities. The knowledge, experiences, and relationships I’ve cultivated here will undoubtedly serve as a strong foundation as I embark on this next phase of my career. Thank you, Deutsche Bank, for an extraordinary journey. To my colleagues—past and present—I look forward to staying connected and seeing how our paths may cross again in the future. Here’s to new beginnings, continued growth, and the pursuit of excellence! 🚀 #Goodbye #DeutscheBank #NewBeginnings #Gratitude #CareerJourney #ProfessionalGrowth #Leadership #CommunityBuilding

🚀 Values at Danske Bank! 🚀 I am thrilled to share what makes our culture at Danske Bank truly unique!🎉 Together with 22,000 colleagues (yes, I did google that 😁), we are dedicated to nurturing an environment founded on Danske bank values:  🤝 Teaming Up 👊 Owning It 🌍 Being Open These are not just our company's core values; they are embraced by every employee. Here is how these values enhance our day-to-day tasks and my personal experiences with them: 🌟 Teaming Up: Collaboration is key within our teams. My recent participation in a workshop highlighted the deep meaning of 'Teaming Up' - it is more than working alongside each other; it’s about mutual support and shared objectives. 🎯 Owning It: I played a role in a major project to systematize information, enhancing our operational efficiency. This year-long project was challenging, but I am proud to have been an integral part of its success, truly owning the results. 🔄 Being Open: Accountability and openness are vital. Admitting errors and being open to change are tough but essential aspects of my role. I continuously work on embracing transparency to solve problems effectively and refine our processes. These values not only define us as a company but also propel us towards greater success and cooperation in our daily work. #DanskeBank #TeamingUp #OwningIt #BeingOpen #WorkCulture #ProfessionalGrowth

Can the last person standing at HSBC please turn out the lights! I get the rationale to focus on parts of the business where financial returns are the greatest. I also get that this means the sale of certain markets such as France and Canada with several others under review, the closure of new start-up ventures such as Zing and the amalgamation of Commercial and Investment Banking. The staff redundancies were not unexpected but asking staff to re-apply and compete against each other for their jobs, brings back fond memories of the Hunger Games. The pivot to Asia accelerated this week with the closure of M&A and Equity Capital Markets in the Europe, UK and Americas. I’m left wondering what staff engagement is like in the HSBC Canary Wharf Temple of Gloom? Shrinking to greatness is never a clever strategy. Neither is ignoring the impact on staff morale or customer satisfaction in favour of shareholders and exec bonuses. ‘Destroying things is much easier than making them.’ Suzanne Collins, the Hunger Games.
