Mike Woods is leaving Deutsche Bank [profile].

MFWire has that confirmed Woods, formerly CEO and U.S. regional head for DWS, has left the asset manager. Lawrence Delevingne of CNBC broke the news.

A spokeswoman for Deutsche declined to comment for this story.

Woods first joined the German multinational's U.S. mutual fund arm four years ago as head of distribution, and he went on to oversee non-investment functions (sales, marketing, administration, etc.) as CEO of DWS U.S. Prior to DWS he held executive roles with Evergreen Investments, XTF Global Asset Management and Legg Mason.
