Deutsche Bank (DB)’s Greek in-house legal contingent is an extremely important component of its cross-border team. Katerina Papageorgiou is the head of legal and compliance for Greece and also compliance head for the Central Eastern Europe region comprising Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. ‘Over the last few years, DB legal has deep-dived into legal risk management taking a leading and active role in managing DB’s complex structural challenges, litigation and enforcement matters but also being at the forefront of innovation’, Papageorgiou says when discussing the team’s trajectory over recent months. ‘The team’s multi-cultural character is a reflection of DB’s diversity and inclusion ethos across its entire workforce’. As well as the cross-border projects it supervises and the complex regulatory and legal advice it provides to the Bank, it has played a key role in driving cultural change within the company in the multinational function and with other business units.
