A replacement has already been found: It is possible that Tamara Weiss, Helaba’s new head of risk, will even forestall demotion at LBBW with her change.
What the Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen (Helaba) announced on Friday afternoon sounds like a coup. Helaba has poached division head Tamara Weiss from the larger and most important competitor within the savings bank finance group, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW). She is the first woman to be appointed to the Helaba Management Board, where she will be responsible for the risk control department. But the anger at the poaching of the rival among the rare department heads is kept within narrow limits in Stuttgart. Rather, you have a replacement for Weiss ready immediately. And research by the FAZ even suggests that Weiss has forestalled demotion at LBBW by leaving Helaba.
The events on Friday can be reconstructed better than those on the days before. On Friday morning, LBBW invited the employees to a telephone meeting in the afternoon. Shortly before, Helaba announced Weiss’ commitment. Anastasios Agathagelidis, LBBW’s Chief Risk Officer for a good two and a half years, took it at least outwardly calmly. He congratulated the “Dear Tamara” and, according to participants, “a compliment to the risk management of the LBBW” in the non -public employee meeting that has been working for the Landesbank in Stuttgart since 2000 and then only for credit risk control and then from April 2021 under him as an area manager for commercial property and project finance. Stand elsewhere – and if it is at Helaba.
