Top World Economic Forum Leader Resigns After Epstein Ties Exposed
The president and CEO of the World Economic Forum has resigned following backlash over his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Børge Brende, the long-serving president and CEO of the World Economic Forum (WEF), has announced his resignation after facing criticism over his links to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Brende admitted dining with Epstein on three separate occasions between 2018 and 2019, raising concerns about the WEF's leadership and the organization's commitment to ethical practices.
The WEF, best known for hosting the annual Davos summit in the Swiss Alps, has long positioned itself as a champion of social responsibility and sustainable economic policies. Brende's departure comes as a blow to the organization's reputation, as it grapples with the fallout from its top executive's association with the convicted sex offender.
