Deutsche Bank says Americas chief Jacques Brand to leave firm

[SEATTLE] Deutsche Bank AG said Jacques Brand, its chief executive officer for the Americas, is leaving the company to pursue another opportunity.

Germany's largest bank will announce a successor in "due course", co-chief executive officers John Cryan and Juergen Fitschen said in a statement on the company's website, without indicating where he's going.

Mr Brand started his career at Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc in 1984 and in 1990 joined Bankers Trust, which Deutsche Bank later acquired.
