Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz pulled out of contention for World Bank president, as White House attention turned to former Hewlett-Packard Co. Chief Executive Carly Fiorina as a potential candidate to lead the multilateral institution.
Officials described the focus on Ms. Fiorina as in the early stages, but reflecting a growing effort to find a successor to James D. Wolfensohn, the current bank president. Mr. Wolfensohn will step down in May after completing his second five-year term in the post. A spokeswoman for Ms. Fiorina declined to comment.
