World Economic Forum Investigates Its CEO over Epstein Links
The World Economic Forum initiated a probe after CEO Borge Brende's three dinners and communications with Epstein, appearing over 60 times in newly released documents.
- On 05/02/2026 the World Economic Forum announced its governing board asked the audit and risk committee to initiate an independent review of president and CEO Børge Brende, who will continue his roles but not participate in the review.
- After millions of documents were released last week, Brende was mentioned more than 60 times and said he attended three dinners with Jeffrey Epstein during a New York visit in 2018 and 2019.
- Brende said he was completely unaware of Epstein's past and that he welcomed the independent review he requested.
- The forum said it is committed to transparency and aims to handle the matter thoughtfully and efficiently, noting that appearing in the released Epstein files does not in itself imply wrongdoing.
- Brende, who has led the WEF since 2017, is central in scrutiny as Jeffrey Epstein had a 2008 conviction and died in 2019 detention, adding gravity to the disclosures.
