Dear Ms Paetsch, you know first-hand how to run a Bundesbank regional office. You were Head of In-house Operations and thus also Deputy to the President of our Regional Office in Hesse for eight years. Prior to this, you were former Executive Board member Carl-Ludwig Thiele’s personal assistant and, before that, you worked in our Directorate General Legal Services.
In this role you helped contain the wildfire of the financial crisis – knowledgeable, level-headed and solution-oriented. In just the same way, you will lead today’s Regional Office, not far from your northern German roots in Göttingen. I wish you every success in this new position.
