    From 'chopping block' to 'starting block': David Bohigian on his time at OPIC

    David Bohigian speaks with Devex about building the new U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and what's next as he steps down as the acting president and CEO of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation.

    WASHINGTON — David Bohigian, who served as the acting president and CEO of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and oversaw its transformation into the new U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, has left the agency.
