Just days after brewing discontent over World Bank President Jim Yong Kim’s controversial reorganization plans came to a head, two more executives are leaving the Washington, D.C.-based institution — the first since the internal changes officially came into effect July 1.
The departure of Philippe Le Houérou and Inger Andersen, vice presidents for South Asia, and Middle East and North Africa, respectively, were announced Thursday during Kim’s town hall meeting with staff, according to a Bloomberg report.
With these changes, top-level appointments at the World Bank should be expected in the next few weeks. Check out previous appointments from the past quarter in the latest edition of the Devex Executive Review.
