New CEO of Deutsche Bank has to make his mark this month

Zurich

JOHN Cryan has spent years of his life advising banks on strategy. Now, as the new CEO of Germany's Deutsche Bank, he'll have just days to put his ideas into practice.

Mr Cryan, a 54-year-old Briton, was head of the global financial institutions advisory group at UBS before he was elevated to the role of chief financial officer of the Swiss bank in September 2008, at the height of the financial crisis.
