Berenberg: Hamburger Privatbank holt JP-Morgan-Manager
Gunnar Regier wechselt nach 28 Jahren bei JP Morgan zu Berenberg und führt künftig die Investmentbank. Die Personalie fällt in eine Zeit, in der die ihre Führung neu ordnen muss.
The Hamburg private bank Berenberg has appointed a new leader for its investment bank: Gunnar Regier, who will join the extended management team on January 1st and will later take on a permanent position, the bank announced on Wednesday. Regier has spent roughly 28 years at JP Morgan Chase and will lead the investment bank. Berenberg had previously announced the appointment of Christian Schumacher as business manager.
The bank is currently gradually rebuilding its management team. The financial regulator Bafin had removed three former business managers, Hendrik Riehmer, David Mortlock, and Christian Kühn, from their duties in June due to inconsistencies in the 2025 annual results report, according to Handelsblatt. Since then, former Berenberg CEO Hans-Walter Peters and former Degussa Bank vice-president Michael Horf have been running the management team.
Peters is said to have known Regier for many years, including through their joint supervisory board work. Regier brings "extensive experience in the capital market business" and will eventually be responsible for the investment bank in the management team, according to Peters.
