Børge Brende admitted dining with the convicted sex offender on three occasions between 2018 and 2019
The boss of the World Economic Forum (WEF) has quit following criticism of his connections to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Børge Brende said he will step down as president and chief executive after more than eight years leading the body, which is best known for its annual meeting held each January in the Swiss mountain resort of Davos.
His departure comes after the forum launched an independent review after Brende admitted dining with Epstein on three occasions in 2018 and 2019.
Recently published documents also showed texts and emails between the pair.
