Warburg Pincus has appointed former Deutsche Bank president James von Moltke as a senior advisor and executive-in-residence to support its financial and technology investments in Europe.
Von Moltke joins the firm with immediate effect to support its European activities, focusing on the financial and technology sectors. He will assist in identifying and evaluating new investment opportunities while supporting value creation across existing portfolio companies in Europe.
He previously served as president of Deutsche Bank from 2022 and spent nine years as chief financial officer and member of the management board. Before joining Deutsche Bank, von Moltke was treasurer of Citigroup, where he also served as head of corporate mergers and acquisitions and global head of financial planning and analysis.
Andrew Sibbald, managing director and head of Europe at Warburg Pincus, said: “We are delighted to welcome James to Warburg Pincus. He is as seasoned an operator as they come, with a career spanning more than three decades at the top of global financial services. James helped lead Deutsche Bank through one of the most consequential transformations in its history, building deep credibility with regulators across the globe along the way. His combination of operating judgment, regulatory credibility and market relationships will be invaluable in helping us source new opportunities and continuing to build value across our portfolio.”
James von Moltke, senior advisor at Warburg Pincus, said: “Having spent my career at the intersection of global banking, capital markets and financial transformation, I’m excited to bring that experience to Warburg Pincus and its portfolio companies, particularly as the sector navigates a period of significant structural change. “I’ve long admired Warburg Pincus for its partnership approach, something I saw firsthand in the Primerica IPO, where the firm worked closely with management and the selling shareholder to bring a value-enhancing deal to life.”
