Biography | Kristalina Georgieva — The 19th Street Board That Named Her Managing Director
kevin
People treat the IMF job as a European inheritance that always went to a finance minister.
In 2019 the executive board took a World Bank CEO from Sofia.
On 25 September 2019 the Fund's board selected Kristalina Georgieva as managing director to succeed Christine Lagarde.
BBC, Reuters, and the Fund's own notice all date the vote that day.
She took office on 1 October 2019.
The Fund waived its own rule that a managing director be under 65 on appointment; she had turned 66 that August.
Official biographies note she was the first person from an emerging-market member to hold the post.
IMF Headquarters 1 stands at 700 19th Street NW, a block west of the World Bank complex.
Property records for the neighboring 1818 H Street campus fix the district; the pin is the Fund's published HQ1 address near 38.8988 north, 77.0442 west.
The building is a guarded international-organization headquarters with a public visitor entrance at 720 19th Street.
It is not a private residence.
Georgieva is a living official.
This memory marks a dated board selection and a start date printed by the Fund.
It does not mark a present daily workplace routine.
