Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), has recently announced his resignation as Chairperson and Board of Trustees member after an illustrious 55-year tenure. The WEF board swiftly appointed Vice Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe as the interim Chairman while also establishing a committee tasked with finding a suitable permanent successor to carry on Schwab’s legacy. Recognizing Schwab’s pivotal role in shaping the WEF into a premier platform for fostering global cooperation, the board expressed gratitude for his unparalleled contributions over the years. Schwab’s departure marks the end of an era for the WEF, as the organization prepares to transition into a new chapter under new leadership.
