Deutsche Bank Mourns the Loss of Frank Strauss
Frank Strauss, a former Management Board member of Deutsche Bank, passed away last week at the age of 54. Strauss had a distinguished career spanning nearly 30 years with the bank and its subsidiaries.
Strauss began his journey with Deutsche Bank in 1995, joining the company in Frankfurt. Over the following decades, he held various roles within the website and Postbank, demonstrating his versatility and commitment to the institution. His tenure at Deutsche Bank also included a significant stint on Wall Street, where he led large projects and internal consulting teams at JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, and Merrill Lynch.
Strauss moved to Postbank as its Management Board member responsible for sales in 2011. He later became CEO of Postbank in 2012, a role he held for six years. From 2017 to 2019, Strauss managed the private and business customer division in the German home market for Deutsche Bank. During this period, he also oversaw private and corporate banking for the website, a role he assumed alone from April 2018 after Christian Sewing's appointment as CEO.
Throughout his career, Strauss was highly valued as a colleague by many at Deutsche Bank and personally by CEO Christian Sewing. Upon learning of Strauss's death, Sewing expressed his sadness, noting Strauss's significant contributions, particularly in the retail banking business of the website.
