The World Economic Forum’s current leadership page says: “The Managing Board, chaired by the President and CEO, Alois Zwinggi, acts as the executive body of the World Economic Forum,” and its leadership roster identifies Alois Zwinggi as “President and Chief Executive Officer of the World Economic Forum.” That directly contradicts the claim that the position is vacant.

The World Economic Forum’s own “Who we are” page says the organization is “headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, with offices in New York and San Francisco, United States, Beijing, China, and Tokyo, Japan.” That official list does not include a Seoul office, and it includes San Francisco, which this sentence omits.

World Economic Forum sources for Davos 2025 do not say there were 350 heads of state and government.

The Forum’s 24 January 2025 press release says the meeting drew “close to 3,000 leaders ... from more than 130 countries, including over 350 heads of state and government and ministers.” That means the 350 figure includes ministers as well, not just heads of state and government.

A separate WEF story about Davos 2025 is even more explicit: it says there were “more than 350 governmental leaders, which included over 50 heads of state and government.” So the article’s wording overstates the number of heads of state/government by converting the total number of governmental leaders into heads of state/government.

The World Economic Forum’s current leadership page says the Managing Board is chaired by Alois Zwinggi, the President and CEO, and then presents the current executive leadership and managing directors. It does not list the seven-person Managing Board roster given here, and several names in this sentence are not shown as current leadership on the official page.

In particular, the official page identifies Alois Zwinggi as President and CEO and lists current managing directors such as Mirek Dušek, Gim Huay Neo, Saadia Zahidi, Kiva Allgood, Matthew Blake, Sebastian Buckup, Sheba Crocker, Rhiannon Evans, Maroun Kairouz, Uxio Malvido and Stephan Mergenthaler. That contradicts this article’s present-tense claim that the Managing Board consists of the older roster headed by “WEF's president and CEO” plus Julien Gattoni, Jeremy Jurgens, Adrian Monck, Sarita Nayyar, Olivier M. Schwab, Saadia Zahidi, and Alois Zwinggi.

The World Economic Forum’s official leadership page states: “The Forum is chaired by Co-Chairs Larry Fink and André Hoffmann.” So the infobox is inaccurate in presenting Larry Fink alone as the Forum’s chairman.
