How do you decide what’s next in your life and career in a post-pandemic world? For most people, the crisis launched an existential dialogue about what matters to you and those who matter most. Former World Bank CEO, Harvard Medical School professor, physician, and pandemic expert Dr. Jim Yong Kim, MD, PhD, joins in conversation with NYTimes Bestselling Author Mark C. Thompson, CEO of the Chief Executive Alliance and ranked world’s #1 CEO coach by the American Management Association.
Jim Yong Kim, M.D., Ph.D., is Vice Chairman and Partner at Global Infrastructure Partners, a fund that invests in infrastructure projects across several sectors around the world.
From July 2012 to February 2019, Kim served as the 12th President of the World Bank Group. Soon after he assumed that position, the organization established two goals to guide its work: to end extreme poverty by 2030; and to boost shared prosperity, focusing on the bottom 40 percent of the population in developing countries.
During Kim’s tenure, the World Bank Group supported the development priorities of countries at levels never seen outside of a financial crisis. Along with partners, the World Bank achieved two successive, record replenishments of the institution’s fund for the poorest countries. The World Bank Group also launched several innovative financial instruments, including facilities to address infrastructure needs, prevent pandemics, and help the millions of people forcibly displaced from their homes by climate shocks, conflict, and violence.
