Vrablic announced her retirement from Deutsche Bank on December 22, 2020, at the age of 60. She said in a statement, "I’ve chosen to resign my position with the bank effective Dec. 31 and am looking forward to my retirement."[4]
Notable clients
Donald Trump
According to the New York Times and the Financial Times, Vrablic was the "private banker" to Donald Trump.[4][5] Prior to her arrival at Deutsche Bank, Trump had been unable to secure loans from Deutsche Bank as a result of having defaulted in 2008 on a $640 million from the bank for Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago.[11] Under Vrablic's direction, the wealth management unit at Deutsche Bank ultimately loaned Trump more than $330 million dollars.[11]
Jared Kushner
In 2017, Jared Kushner and his mother had a personal unsecured line of credit from the bank for $5 to $25 million.[11] In 2016, the bank loaned Kushner Companies $285 million to buy several floors of The Times Square Building from Africa Israel Investments.[11] Kushner also issued a mortgage-backed security for the Puck Building through Deutsche Bank.[11] In June 2013, a company associated with Kushner sold an apartment on Park Avenue to Ms. Vrablic and another Deutsche Bank colleague for approximately $1.5 million.[4][12]
