Banker
James Wolfensohn
Ran the World Bank for ten years, and a fine cellist.
Sir James David Wolfensohn was an Australian-American lawyer, investment banker, and economist who served as the ninth president of the World Bank Group (1995 to 2005). During his tenure at the World Bank, he is credited with the focus on poverty alleviation and a rethink on development financing, earning him recognition as a banker to the world's poor. In his other roles, he is credited with actions that brought Chrysler Corporation back from the brink of bankruptcy, and also improving the finances of major United States cultural institutions, including Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. He served two terms as president of the World Bank on the nomination of U.S. president Bill Clinton, and thereafter held various positions with charitable organizations and policy think-tanks including the Brookings Institution.
