BRAZIL: The world’s second most powerful mother introduces ‘Caring Brazil’
President Dilma Rousseff continues to smash records. To mark Mother’s Day in the US (and much of Latin America) Forbes Magazine came up with a list of the 20 ‘most powerful moms’ in the world. Top of the list, predictably, was Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state. Less predictably, Rousseff was placed second, above Indra Nooyi, the chairman and chief of PepsiCo, Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Facebook, Melinda Gates, co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Sonia Gandhi, chairperson of India’s United Progressive Alliance, Michelle Obama, the US First Lady and Christine Lagarde, the International Monetary Fund’s managing director, among others.
