ZURICH (Reuters) -Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, whose annual gathering of business and political leaders in the Swiss mountain resort of Davos became a symbol of globalisation, has resigned as chair of its trustees.
The Geneva-based WEF made the announcement on Monday after revealing earlier this month that the 87-year-old Schwab, who for decades has been the face of the Davos get-together, would be stepping down, without giving a firm timeline.
"Following my recent announcement, and as I enter my 88th year, I have decided to step down from the position of Chair and as a member of the Board of Trustees, with immediate effect," Schwab said in a statement released by the WEF.
The forum did not say why he was quitting.

Maybe he’s joining Papa Frank and riding off into the sunset of Hell.

He has my vote. Frankie was also 88, same as Schwab is now. And aren’t the values and ideals of the WEF the same as the Catholic Church?

Perhaps Schwab got a message that JD Vance wanted to have a personal visit with him, just like Vance had with the Pope!
