What happened
The World Economic Forum is currently co-chaired by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and André Hoffmann, the vice chairman of Roche.

Common ground
The Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) reported over the weekend that Lagarde had been referred to as a "putative candidate" for the position of WEF president during a board meeting near Geneva earlier this week.
