Deutsche Bank wants to further strengthen dialogue with the political sphere. Stephen Fisher will assume the role of Global Head of Political Affairs as of 1 October. He will have offices in Brussels and London and report to Ben Alka, Global Head of Corporate Affairs & Strategy.
"With Stephen Fisher, we are gaining a seasoned, well-connected expert on the political and financial landscape," said Alka. "His extensive experience in engaging with policymakers and on regulatory issues will help us to further expand our relationships with policymakers in Europe and other important markets around the world."
Fisher joins from Blackrock, where he was Co-Head Global Public Policy Group EMEA. Previously, he worked for the Dutch Banking Association, the European Banking Federation and the UK Financial Supervisory Authority, among others.
Fisher follows Deutsche Bank’s current Global Head of Political Affairs Germany, Sven Afhüppe. "Over the past two and a half years, Sven has made a significant contribution to successfully strengthening our relations with politicians, especially in Berlin. I thank him for his impact”, said Alka. The bank will inform about Afhüppe’s future role in due course.
