Daniel Theobald is no outsider. He was once a corporate banking advisor himself, built his lending expertise in the savings bank and cooperative banking sectors, worked for a U.S. financial investor, and, as a consultant at PwC Luxembourg, advised bank executives on developing new business models and navigating regulatory requirements. As a licensed executive under Section 25c of the German Banking Act (KWG), he understands how financial institutions think—and what corporate clients really need.
