Background

About Patrick Luternauer

I am responsible for the International Finance Corporation’s relationship with its Sovereign Partners in Europe and Canada, forging strong and impactful partnerships. Together we strive to create jobs and improve the lives of people in developing countries by investing in private sector growth in a sustainable and inclusive manner. With over 30 years of experience in development finance, advisory, and governance, having lived and worked in Europe, Asia, and the US, I bring the necessary knowledge and skills to my role at IFC, the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in developing countries. I am also the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors at SCBF a Swiss based non-profit organization that promotes financial inclusion in developing and emerging economies as a public private platform. I received my master’s in law from the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, and my executive education in business from IMD, Lausanne in Switzerland. I am keen on creating and implementing solutions that ends extreme poverty, boosts shared prosperity, and creates a livable planet.
