ABOUT THE EVENT
Held at The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) headquarters in London, this event marked the launch of Odyssey Moscow with a conversation between Michael Calvey and Anne Fossemalle, Director of Equity Funds, alongside former senior EBRD colleagues. The discussion reflected on Calvey’s three decades in Russia — a journey that began in part during his early career at EBRD, focused on energy sector investment.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is an international financial institution that supports private-sector development and economic transition in emerging markets. The event offered unique institutional and personal perspectives on Calvey’s story and the wider challenges of investing in complex political environments.
