Dr Georg Caspary has been with the World Bank for the past ten years in various energy-related functions, including an extended stay in Cairo covering Egypt, Morroco and Tunisia. Concurrent with this appointment, Mr Caspary has taught at various think tanks and universities, most recently as part-time faculty at Georgetown.
Mr Caspary graduated as a National Merit Scholar in Economics and Philosophy from Oxford, and did his graduate work at the LSE, Sciences-Po and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology / MIT (where he initiated a new model on teaching TED-style presentations for entrepreneurs, and focused on MIT's Sustainability Track).
