Sheelah Kolhatkar is a features editor and national correspondent at Bloomberg Businessweek, where she writes features and investigative stories about Wall Street, women in business and national politics. She has profiled characters as diverse as Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, former New York governor Eliot Spitzer, hedge fund mogul John Paulson and presidential hopeful Donald Trump. Her September, 2012 Bloomberg Businessweek story, "Inside Karl Rove's Billionaire Fundraiser," won a 2013 New York Press Club Award. Her feature for New York Magazine, "What if Women Ran Wall Street," about the effects of testosterone on Wall Street traders, was syndicated around the world and sparked a national conversation about risk taking on Wall Street and whether a lack of diversity contributed to the conditions leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. She is currently working on her first book, to be published by Random House.
