After more than eight years in senior positions at Commerzbank and before that nearly 20 years at Deutsche Bank, Michael Reuther is an experienced figure within the banking world. But Commerzbank’s head of corporates and markets, non-core public finance assets and group treasury is not afraid to embrace new ways of thinking.
In his years at Deutsche Bank, Mr Reuther headed the bank’s liquidity management department globally for 11 years, where he devised a global cashflow-based liquidity system – a real innovation in the 1990s, when capital planning mattered more than liquidity management – providing him with useful experience when liquidity management took centre-stage during the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009.
