“Kristalina Georgieva brings a world of professional and personal experience, having worked in Africa and with African countries and African leaders…This is not a managing director who is going to have to be educated about the situation or challenges facing Africa. This is somebody who comes with a long experience of having personally and professionally been engaged with the continent. That’s a big plus.” As a veteran of the World Bank and European Commission, Georgieva brings with her a rich patchwork of knowledge and experience of developing countries spanning climate change policy, sustainability, gender equality and disaster management.
