US EditionCEO of World Economic Forum quits after Epstein ties scrutinised
Borge Brende resigned after an independent review found no new concerns about his Epstein ties, aiming to avoid distractions from the World Economic Forum's work, officials said.
- On Thursday, Borge Brende said he was stepping down as President and CEO of the World Economic Forum, a few weeks after the forum launched an independent investigation.
- U.S. Justice Department disclosures showed Brende had three business dinners with Jeffrey Epstein and communicated via email and text message.
- Saying his tenure spanned eight and a half years, Brende framed the move as avoiding distractions and made no mention of Epstein.
- Co-Chairs Andre Hoffmann and Larry Fink said the outside review found no additional concerns and named Alois Zwinggi interim president and chief executive, with the Board of Trustees overseeing the transition.
- The Geneva-based Forum organises the annual Davos summit, and Brende became WEF president in 2017, marking a long tenure before his departure.
