What World Economic Forum employees are saying...

  • I am working in the Programme Team, where we constantly need to be on top of social, political and economic developments to shape the agendas of our summits. I enjoy working at the Forum because it is a young, dynamic, mission-driven organization with its hand on the pulse of a rapidly changing world.

  • I joined the World Economic Forum in January 2010 and find that this organization provides me a unique opportunity both to be purposeful and to drive for global impact. As an Associate Director in the Environmental Initiatives Team, the opportunity I have to shape the global agenda on this key issue area, to bring and work with world-class experts from around the world to generate relevant insights and catalyse innovative initiatives that drive for impact is simply unparalleled. In addition, as a Global Leadership Fellow of the World Economic Forum, I have the privilege and the chance to learn key aspects of leadership that are meaningful and relevant for organizations interested in aligning numerous stakeholders in order to effectively approach problems, develop strategies and capitalize on opportunities.
