Baltic-based financial services provider, Luminor, has appointed Karl von Rohr as chairman of the supervisory boards of Luminor Holding and Luminor Bank, effective 1 January 2026.
To his new role, he brings three decades of international banking experience from Deutsche Bank, where he was CEO and chairman of the management board.
Additionally, Von Rohr was chairman of the supervisory board of DWS Group, Deutsche Bank's listed asset management unit. He is also a member of the supervisory board of Brenntag SE and sits on the boards of several other companies and non-profit organisations.
He is a qualified German lawyer and holds a Master of Laws degree from Cornell University.
Luminor said that Von Rohr’s extensive knowledge of management, strategy, and his experience in the European financial sector will be invaluable in implementing the provider's plan.
Von Rohr will replace Nils Melngailis, who will step down as chairman of the supervisory boards on 31 December 2025, after more than eight years of leadership.
Melngailis has played a central role in building Luminor into the leading independent bank in the Baltics since its establishment in 2017.
After stepping down as chairman, Melngailis will remain a member of the supervisory board for a transition period and will support Luminor in an advisory role until the end of 2026.
Von Rohr’s appointment is subject to approval by the supervisory authorities.
