World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab steps back from executive post
Semafor ^ | May 21, 2024 | Staff

THE SCOOP

World Economic Forum founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab will be stepping back from his role running the global gathering since he founded it in 1971.

Schwab announced his intentions in an email to staff on Tuesday that was shared with Semafor by a person connected to the organization.

He will be stepping down as executive chairman and transitioning to a role as non-executive chairman, he said, adding the change in his role is pending approval by the Swiss government but should be finalized ahead of the WEF’s annual meeting in 2025.

Schwab has not named his successor, but said that over the last year, the group’s executive board, “under the leadership of President Børge Brende, has taken full executive responsibility.”

Brende is a former Norwegian conservative leader.

The Forum did not immediately respond to Semafor’s request for comment on Schwab’s decision.

“Brende is a former Norwegian conservative leader.”

CONSERVATIVE? I wonder what that means in Norway.

I guess it is time to focus on ending Switzerland. After all, the head of the WEF needs their permission to

It means corporatism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Party_(Norway)

“The party (Høyre) is traditionally a pragmatic and politically moderate conservative party strongly associated with the traditional elites within the civil service and Norwegian business life.”

A big group of Mitt Romney and John Boehner clones.

Satan is coming for Schwab. No matter what these reptiles do to gain power and extend their lives they will all have to face their maker.

He’s probably saying to himself: “My work is almost done here.”

Good. That means I’m still in the running. I’ve already sent Mr. Schwab my position paper. It contains only two sentences.

1. Mandatory insect dinners for all current members of the WEF.
2. Traditional pepperoni pizza for me.

A tad more pro-business than Communists or Greenies.

As in other EU countries, it's pretty much all different flavors of socialist, and "small government" isn't even in the universe of discourse.

My thought too...I had no idea there was some relationship between the two.

It seems the WEF is a non-profit that was created & registered in Switzerland. Maybe this is just some regulatory formality?

Probably the same thing that it means to the Bush/Liz Chaney/McCain folks.

” it’s pretty much all different flavors of socialist”

That’s what I figured.
