Børge Brende Resigns From World Economic Forum

Børge Brende, president and CEO of the World Economic Forum, announced his resignation after disclosures showed he attended dinners and exchanged communications with Jeffrey Epstein. The WEF commissioned an independent external review that reported no additional concerns beyond the disclosed interactions, and Brende said stepping down would shield the forum from distractions. His exit raises questions about reputational risk and institutional transparency.
