Stephan Leithner: Ex-investment banker becomes head of Deutsche Börse. Because the company needs “fresh blood,” Theodor Weimer is giving up his leadership position.
In 2022, thanks to a bonus payout, he was the highest-paid CEO in the DAX. Weimer gave the group new self-confidence after his predecessor Carsten Kengeter stumbled upon an insider affair. He was also considered a possible chairman of Deutsche Bank's supervisory board.
