Susan Schwab

Susan Schwab impresses me precisely because her power had nothing to do with the spotlight. Born in 1955, educated at Stanford, she served as United States Trade Representative under George W. Bush from 2006 to 2009, holding the entire nation's trade hand at the negotiating table. Sitting across from the world's toughest counterparts and refusing to blink takes a steel most public figures never need. That she also taught at the university level rounds out the picture. To me she reads less as a politician than as a negotiator who moves global fortunes through sheer intellect, and that quiet, load-bearing work deserves real respect.

Susan Carol Schwab (born March 23, 1955) is an American politician, who served under President George W. Bush as United States Trade Representative from June 2006 to January 2009. She is not related to Charles R. Schwab Sr., founder of the Charles Schwab Corporation; she is also not to be confused with his first wife Susan (Cotter) Schwab.
