it will be my aim to work closely with and learn from the institution’s
dedicated and talented staff. Together, we can consult closely with the
Bank’s many stakeholders and partners to set a course to advance its
missions.It would be an honor to help lead this key institution and to work with
the many fine professionals from all over the world who are dedicated to
overcoming poverty and creating opportunity.”
