UBS has lost one of its top tech experts to Deutsche Bank. The German giant tasked with promoting the use of robots.

Thad Széll has joined Deutsche Bank’s London branch, according a report by «Efinancialcareers». He was appointed to the rank of a managing director and will take charge of automation and networks of the future.

At UBS he was active in a similar role and received the title of a distinguished engineer – an award reserved for the top tech experts at Switzerland’s No. 1 bank.

Digital Surge

Deutsche Bank’s plan to appoint its platform with new systems and the best talents available dates back to pre-corona times. The German giant will invest some 13 billion euros in technology through 2022, despite the tough times it is going through.

The digital surge that was prompted by the coronacrisis will enhance the tech push planned by the bank and certainly further fan the war for talent.
