Robert Rubin served as the 70th Secretary of the U.S. Treasury from 1995–99. He began his career in finance at Goldman, Sachs and served as its vice chairman and co-chief operating officer. Rubin joined the Clinton Administration in 1993 as the first director of the White House National Economic Council. From 2007–17, he co-chaired the Council on Foreign Relations. He is one of the founders of The Hamilton Project, an economic policy project housed at the Brookings Institution.

Rubin is the author (with Jacob Weisberg) of "In an Uncertain World: Tough Choices from Wall Street to Washington" (Random House, 2003), which was a New York Times bestseller and was named one of Business Week’s ten best business books of the year.
