Deutsche Bank AG is considering shrinking its executive board as the German lender steps up efforts to reduce expenses.

The Frankfurt-based bank may use the impending departure of President Karl von Rohr — who leads the private bank and is one of two presidents of the firm — as an opportunity to reshuffle some responsibilities of its top management body and reduce the number of members to nine, from the current ten, according to people familiar with the matter.
