The responsibility for information technology, which was
Hammond's main task, may be transferred to another board member,
the person said, adding the bank would need clearance from
supervisory authorities for a such move.
Deutsche Bank declined to comment on the matter, which was first
reported by daily Handelsblatt.
The lender announced Hammonds' departure on Wednesday, amid a
continuing reshuffle of its executive management.
Hammonds had been tasked with streamlining the bank's IT
systems, which former Chief Executive John Cryan called 'lousy'
when he took the helm. But she came under pressure after
disparaging comments she made about the bank became public.
Hammonds is the latest to go in a major shake-up of top
managers. Cryan was ousted last week, replaced by his deputy
Christian Sewing, and a top investment banker, Marcus Schenck,
also left the bank.
Hammonds told colleagues earlier this year that Deutsche was
"the most dysfunctional company" she had ever worked for,
according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
