World Economic Forum Founder Klaus Schwab To Step Back From Executive Role

Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, will be stepping down from his executive role. He will be transitioning to a non-executive role by January 2025. "By January 2025, Klaus Schwab will transition from Executive Chairman to Chairman of the Board of Trustees," the World Economic Forum (WEF) said in a statement.

"In addition, the Forum's prominent Board of Trustees will be organised around four strategic committees to further reinforce the impact of our work," it said.

The Forum's governance is also set to change as a consequence of the move and Schwab hasn't yet named a successor.

"Since 2015, the World Economic Forum has been transforming from a convening platform to the leading global institution for public-private cooperation. As part of that transformation, the organization has also been undergoing a planned governance evolution from a founder-managed organization to one where a President and Managing Board assume full executive responsibility," the forum said.

The WEF, which the 86-year-old founded in 1971, organises a yearly gathering of world leaders in finance, economy and politics in Davos, Switzerland as well as several smaller events throughout the world.

The package comes as Israel faces strong international criticism over its continued bombing campaign and ground offensive in Gaza and as some members of President Joe Biden's party call for him to cut US military aid. The United States has been rushing air defenses and munitions to Israel, but some Democrats and Arab American groups have criticized the Biden administration's steadfast support of Israel, which they say provides it with a sense of impunity.
