FORTUNE

Pattie Sellers has written some of FORTUNE's most talked-about cover stories, including "The $100 Billion Woman" (Melinda Gates), "MySpace Cowboys," Martha Stewart ("I cannot be destroyed"), Meg Whitman ("eBay's Secret"), Ted Turner ("Gone with the Wind") and Oprah Winfrey ("Oprah Inc."). Every year since its launch in 1998, Pattie has helped oversee FORTUNE's "Most Powerful Women in Business" cover package. A specialist at dissecting larger-than-life personalities, she has also profiled Treasury Secretary (and former Goldman Sachs CEO) Hank Paulson, Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack, investor Eddie Lampert, and various media chiefs. And she has broken ground with insightful pieces on career management issues such as ego ("Get Over Yourself!"), "Charisma: Do You Need It? Can You Get It?" and "So You Fail. So What?" Pattie chairs the annual FORTUNE Most Powerful Women Summit, the preeminent gathering of women leaders in business, philanthropy, government, academia, and the arts. She started at Fortune in 1984, covering the big consumer brand companies.

In Pattie's new blog, Postcards, she provides insight into the lives of "super-achievers and other powerful people" through daily commentary, career advice to readers, and guest posts from major players.
