The following appointments become effective July 1, 2008.
Rashad Kaldany will become Vice President for the Middle East and North Africa and will also be responsible for IFC’s Global Infrastructure cluster, covering departments that work in infrastructure; information and communications technology; oil, gas, mining, and chemicals; and subnational finance.
Thierry Tanoh will become Vice President for Sub-Saharan Africa and will lead IFC’s strategy for the poorest and conflict-affected countries, two of the six strategic themes outlined by World Bank Group President Robert Zoellick. He will also oversee IFC's European offices in developed countries. Tanoh will be IFC's first field-based vice president.
