With Horst Köhler the Foundation and the entire Scope Group have lost a highly cherished supporter and advisor.
“Horst Köhler was an uncompromising defender of the European idea and an enthusiastic advocate of the European rating agency. My utmost admiration goes to his work as an economist and as President of Germany. His determination, strategic foresight as well as his warm manner impressed me time and again,” said Florian Schoeller, Founder and Chief Executive of Scope Group.
Gerd Häusler, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, said: “Horst Köhler and I have enjoyed a long-standing professional and personal relationship. He was a strong supporter of the Scope Foundation. His wise counsel will be sorely missed by myself and all my fellow Foundation members. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends.”
