Herman van Rompuy
President of the European Union 2009-2014
Received the World Leader Cycle award in 2012.
The award was granted for his outstanding achievements as the former Belgian Prime Minister and Treasury Secretary. We admire the way he dealt with the budgetary deficit and how he brought calmness within the Belgian politics. He faced challenges when he was the first President of the European Council, like the the financial crisis and the unification of Europe. Dealing with so many different political interests is an outstanding performance and requires a strong leader.
