Marion Spielmann, COO Banking Business Units and Depositary at Deka, describes the rationale behind the partnership as follows: “We intend nothing less than the digital transformation of the securities business. The DLT Talents program enables our female employees to deepen their knowledge and expand their network, and us to attract further talent for our exciting mission.“
Daniel Holk, leading Project Manager at DLT Talents is also excited about this new partnership between DekaBank and DLT Talents:
“We are thrilled about being partners with Deka for DLT Talents in the future. As the first German bank to issue a crypto security and other subsequent projects, DekaBank is undeniably at the forefront of the use of DLT in the financial market. Marion Spielmann, who has been significantly involved in DekaBank’s activities from the very beginning, is an ideal role model for women who want to get more active in this field and thus a perfect fit for our DLT Talents program. I am excited to see many of their knowledgeable employees in our sessions in the future and cannot wait to start our next cohort with them at our side.”
