Deutsche Bank AG Chief Executive Officer Christian Sewing is set to relinquish his role overseeing the lender’s sprawling investment bank, with Fabrizio Campelli seen as the lead candidate to replace him.

Germany’s largest lender will likely decide on a successor over the next couple of months, said people familiar with the plans. While Chief Transformation Officer Campelli is most likely to succeed Sewing, U.S. head Christiana Riley and Asia head Alexander von zur Muehlen are also potential candidates, the people said.
