Barclays’ decision to appoint Dr Ingrid Hengster as the CEO of Germany and the Global Chairman of Investment Bank comes when the British multinational bank expands its horizons in Europe. As an experienced professional who has handled leadership roles at many investment-banking ventures and executive positions at KfW, Hengster knows the heart of the area where she must lead and optimise the performance.
