Global Leadership Fellows Programme

The Global Leadership Fellow Programme is an internal three-year programme for selected World Economic Forum staff to prepare them for future leadership roles in the public and private sectors. In addition to their regular jobs at the Forum, the Fellows spend several weeks each year in academic trainings and retreats, both in Geneva and offsite, such as on the campus of one of the programme's partner institutions. Workshops, meetings with world leaders and coaching complement the programme.

All Fellows have at least a Master degree and generally between five and seven years of work experience when entering the programme. They have a large variety of backgrounds in government, business and civil society and come from all over the world.

The academic partners of the Global Leadership Fellows Programme are:

• Columbia University
• Insead
• London Business School
• The Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania)

Matthias Catón participates in the programme since 2008.
