biography

Professional background

Andreas de Maizière studied business administration and political science at the University of Cologne from 1971 to 1976 . During his studies, he took part in a seminar at Chase Manhattan Bank in New York and worked for the brokerage house Bache. In 1976, after graduating as a business graduate, he joined Commerzbank AG as a trainee and later managed the branches in Paris, Bremen and Hamburg. From 1999 to 2005 he was a member of the board of directors in Frankfurt for the bank's corporate customer business, after which he took on the role of Chief Operating Officer for Human Resources (Labor Director), Organization, Transaction Banking and IT.

In 2005, Commerzbank was confronted with allegations of alleged money laundering activities: the Frankfurt public prosecutor's office investigated eleven people, including four Commerzbank employees, on charges of improper conduct in connection with the privatization of Russian telecommunications companies in the 1990s. The investigations also concerned the then spokesman for the board, Klaus-Peter Müller , who was responsible for business in Eastern Europe in the 1990s. De Maizière then took over responsibility for this region from 1999 to 2002. De Maizière officially resigned in July 2005 “for personal reasons”, even if the resignation was in connection with Commerzbank's internal money laundering investigations against various bank employees. At the time of his resignation, he was not aware that de Maizière and Klaus-Peter Müller had initial suspicions in connection with the money laundering investigations by the Frankfurt Public Prosecutor. "With his resignation, De Maizière has also taken responsibility for mistakes made by employees in his area of ​​responsibility," said a spokeswoman for the bank at the time. De Maizière is the only one from the management team at the time who drew personal and professional consequences from the controversial Commerzbank affair. In 2010, de Maizière indicated that his resignation came under pressure from BaFin to appoint a person responsible at the highest level. The proceedings against Klaus-Peter Müller were discontinued in May 2006, those against Andreas de Maizière in 2007 in accordance with Section 170 (II) StPO because sufficient findings on the alleged money laundering suspicion had not been made.

After leaving Commerzbank, Andreas de Maizìere was a partner at the M&A company Doertenbach & Co. in Frankfurt / Main until 2010 and is still a Senior Adviser there today. He continues to advise business families in Germany and abroad and is a multi-supervisory board member. He is chairman of the supervisory board of five companies of the Arenburg Group in Düsseldorf, also chairman of the supervisory board of Fürstlich Castellˋschen Bank , Credit-Casse AG in Würzburg and a member of the supervisory board of Eisen- und Hüttenwerke AG, Andernach. In previous years he was u. a. on the supervisory boards of ABB Deutschland AG, MAN AG, ThyssenKrupp Steel AG and ZEAL Network SE in London.
