"Tariffs add uncertainty, forcing clients to rethink supply chains and investments. Regulatory changes are among the top concerns for CEOs and CFOs, and we help clients navigate these challenges to maintain resilience and profitability," Matthiessen said in an interview.

In Deutsche Bank since 2008, Ole took the current role as global head of cash management in 2019. In 2022, he took on the additional responsibility as the head of corporate bank for the Asia-Pacific or APAC region. Thereafter, since January 2024, he is also responsible for the corporate bank in Middle East and Africa.
