Marcia Vickers is a senior writer at Fortune Magazine. Her numerous features generally profile companies in the news, Wall Street scandals, and capital markets trends. She has covered stories such as the Eliot Spitzer mutual fund probe, the Ken Lipper scandal, and the Ted Ammon murder story. A versatile writer, Vickers has written magazine cover stories on "The Secret World of Marsh Mac" and "The Most Powerful Trader on Wall Street You've Never Heard Of."

Vickers has also broached the subject of developmental differences between boys and girls. "Educators should be careful not to single out boys as 'developmentally delayed' because they can't color in a sunflower as well as a girl," said Vickers. "Now that a few experts are focusing on boys' learning gaps, the danger is to address the problem in the wrong way."

Vickers graduated with a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University.
