Voice of Experience: Reena Agrawal Sahni, Partner, Shearman & Sterling LLP
As early as her first job after law school, clerking for Judge Jon O. Newman of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, Sahni found such a mentor and exemplar. "Working with someone of that caliber who was excellent at everything he did, but did it with ease, grace and good humor, gave me a model for how I wanted to conduct myself professionally," she recalls for The Glasshammer.

A Dream of Secular Utopia in ISIS' Backyard


In the midst of the turmoil in Syria, is a town called Rojava. "Within its borders the rules of the neighboring ISIS caliphate had been inverted. In accordance with a philosophy laid out by a leftist revolutionary named Abdullah Ocalan, Rojavan women had been championed as leaders, defense of the environment enshrined in law and radical direct democracy enacted in the streets.Wes Enzinna from the New York Time reports.



Santander's Ana Botin Has Something to Prove

Ana Bot�n can't help herself. As group executive chairman of Madrid-based Banco Santander, she manages the most valuable lender in the euro zone, with a market capitalization of 75 billion euros ($81 billion). But whenever she meets with money managers or friends or, as she's doing on this September morning, grants a rare interview, she doesn't just weigh in on quantitative easing or how fintech is reshaping the business of banking. Bot�n relishes a bit of selling. Reports Edward Robinson and Macarena Munoz Montijano from Bloomberg Business
