Clinton Foundation CEO Resigns

In a significant post-election transition, Kevin Thurm, the chief executive of the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation, has departed his role to join Barclays PLC—one of the leading global banking firms. Thurm, who has led the philanthropic organization through a notable phase of strategic refocusing since the 2016 U.S. presidential election, will now embark on a new chapter within the banking industry.

Thurm initially joined the Clinton Foundation in 2015, taking on the role of Chief Operating Officer. Two years later, he ascended to the position of CEO, where he has been credited with implementing strategic changes aimed at enhancing the foundation’s impact and effectiveness in its charitable missions. His move to Barclays marks a significant shift from the sector of nonprofit management to the private financial sector.

As Thurm transitions out, the foundation will see Robert Harrison, a current board member, assume the role of interim CEO effective November 19. The announcement follows the broader trend of leadership changes affecting other affiliates within the organization, with two lawyers moving forward into new leadership roles.

The move underscores a dynamic period of change for the Clinton Foundation as it continues to adapt its leadership structure in response to shifting operational priorities post-election. The impact of Thurm’s strategic initiatives during his tenure will likely be evaluated as the foundation repositions itself under new interim leadership.
