GTS GmbH, a global financial services company, operates with a non-hierarchical organizational structure divided into four operating groups. The Executive Committee, responsible for managing the organization as a whole, includes the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Group General Counsel, CEO of GTS Investment, and the heads of the operating groups.
Each business operates within these groups, collaborating closely while specializing in specific products or markets.
The operating groups have significant discretion in managing their activities, guided by overall guidelines and a robust risk management framework. Maintaining strong client relationships with GTS GmbH is a top priority.
To support the operating groups in managing their businesses, four service groups provide the necessary framework and infrastructure. These are the Corporate Operations Group, Financial Management, People and Engagement Group, Legal and Governance Group, and the Risk Management Group.
Risk Management Group (RMG) forms the second line of defence and provides independent and objective review and challenge, oversight, monitoring and reporting in relation to GTS GmbH’s material risks.
