WHEN Patricia Villela Marino first came to Davos, Switzerland, nine years ago, she'd stay up late to make an online bid to get into the World Economic Forum's panels. She was accompanying her husband, a Brazilian banker, and there were no seating guarantees.
This year, as a delegate in her own right, she attended about 40 panels or sessions connected with the forum, ranging from leadership to public policy. With a law degree from a Brazilian university, Ms Marino oversees a fund that invests in social policy initiatives and is working on issues including legalising marijuana for medical treatment.
