For a building to survive in the 21st century, it has to be flexible. 

People need to move from open-concept designs to quiet places of solitude to accommodate the work they're doing. If a building can't match a person's needs, the work will suffer.

That's the challenge Danish design firm Henning + Larsen was tasked with in designing Lund University's research building, Forum Medicum, located in Sweden.

According to design director Louis Becker, the building had to join two pre-existing academic buildings, so flexibility was a factor from the start.

The design ultimately resulted in a two-floor plan in which the bottom floor connected to the pre-existing buildings, but the top floor was rotated about 45 degrees to align with the nearby road.

Unlike the surrounding halls, Forum Medicum has floor-to-ceiling windows, with access to the slatted, skylit roof.

Inside there are both classrooms and workspaces, Becker says.

The research lab isn't a so-called "wet lab," meaning there are no fluids or potential explosions that could ruin the fancy new design.

In addition to rooms offering movable walls, the building itself allows for easy renovations.

"Academia works so fast in terms of the new ways of teaching and the size of groups," Becker says.

That's why just about the only walls that are held in place are those that directly support the structure. All others can be taken down or transplanted to change the nature of the work environment.

Even while the building is under construction, the university can decide how it wants the rooms to be laid out.

"It gives them the possibility to decide quite late in the process what kind of configuration they'll have on their floors," Becker says. 

Property prices around the world continue to surge.

But there are some ugly spots, too.

Perhaps the most obvious example is the Chinese housing market, but other once-glitzy regions are seeing downturns as well.

Nearly everyone has a favorite holiday movie that they watch every year, from oldies but goodies like "It's a Wonderful Life" to modern classics like "Elf."

But then there are the holiday duds: the fruitcakes of Hollywood that some may love with an inexplicable guilty pleasure, or love to groan at whenever they come on.

We decided to check out Rotten Tomatoes and see what some of the lowest-rate holiday releases were.

Scroll down to see if your favorite — or your least favorite — made the list.

"Unaccompanied Minors" (2006): 31%

Based on the premise of a snowed-in airport filled with unattended children trying to fly home for the holidays, this movie is full of misbehaving children getting into shenanigans. Time Out critic Derek Adams said of the movie: "Irresponsible content notwithstanding, it's the low standard of filmmaking that really defies belief."

Source: Rotten Tomatoes

"Four Christmases" (2008): 25%

Starring Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon, "Four Christmases" is the story of a couple whose plan to avoid the holidays with their family is ruined by a canceled flight. The dysfunctional family tropes play out in the film, but one critic found it "charmless and cheerless."

"I'll Be Home for Christmas" (1998): 23%

Ah, the glory days of Jonathan Taylor Thomas. This Disney original missed the magic, and Michael O'Sullivan of the Washington Post said that it was "too sophisticated for thumb-suckers, but far too stupid for anyone else."

The BMW i8 is a technological tour de force. It's a twin-engine, plug-in hybrid with show-car looks, supercar performance, and economy-car efficiency. It's BMW's vision for what the future may hold for sports cars. Earlier in 2015, BMW lent Business Insider a white i8, and we took it on a road trip through historic New England.

From humble beginnings in a Christmas song to a billion-dollar global franchise, Alvin and the Chipmunks have come a long way.

Ross Bagdasarian Sr. was struggling to make a hit song when he spent $190 of his last $200 on a tape recorder in 1958 to speed up his voice. The result was "Witch Doctor," a song with a high-pitched chorus that became an astonishing hit. From this came the inspiration for "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)," which was released later that year, and thus, the chipmunk trio was born.

Named for three record executives from the Chipmunks' original label, Alvin, Theodore, and Simon became fan favorites. They were animated in 1961 for a short-lived television series and released a number of albums until the death of Bagdasarian Sr.

Bagdasarian's son, Ross Bagdasarian Jr., took control of the family company, Bagdasarian Productions, and in the early '80s, he and his wife, Janice Karman, revived the Chipmunks.

Since buying out the company from his siblings in the '90s, Bagdasarian Jr. and his wife have kept the Chipmunks a family affair.

In the years since, they've appeared in TV cartoons, released more albums, and they've been featured in a number of films. But it hasn't always been easy for the chipmunk trio — they have been involved in some lawsuits over the years. 

Check out the Chipmunks' legacy below:

Rostom Sipan "Ross" Bagdasarian was an actor and musician known for his appearance in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window." He was making novelty records in the late '50s when he bought a tape recorder that allowed him to vary tape speed and released the song "Witch Doctor" in 1958. It reached No. 1.

That fall, he released "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)," which marked the debut of his chipmunk trio.

The first Grammy Awards ceremony was held in 1959 and the song won three Grammys: best comedy performance, best engineered record (non-classical) and best recording for children. It also reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100, the only Chipmunks song to do so, and stayed there for four weeks.

(Sourece: Los Angeles Times and Billboard)

He named the three chipmunks Simon, Theodore, and Alvin, after three record executives, and gave them a human caretaker named David Seville, Bagdasarian's stage name. Bagdasarian voiced all three chipmunks and the human David for much of his career. He also started Bagdasarian Productions to handle the Chipmunks franchise.

Having kids is hard and getting harder around the world, according to a new report from analysts at Goldman Sachs.

That's because it's getting more expensive.

While basics like food and clothing are cheaper, the big-ticket items are pushing up the overall cost of raising children.

Parents in the US in particular are among the least optimistic that their children will be better off financially.

That isn't to say that the global population is about to collapse, but maybe consider a few of these costs before you decide to bring junior into the world.

And if you do want to have kids, keep this in mind. Expenses are considerably higher when you go from having one or two kids to adding that third one.

Sorry mom. Here's some data from Goldman's analysis:

Parents around the world are mixed on whether they're leaving the world a better place for their kids.

Maybe part of that is because they've watched the world become more expensive.

A perfect example of this is the cost of higher education in the United States. It has exploded higher.

A little after 8:30 p.m. ET on December 21, SpaceX will launched the most powerful version yet of its 229-foot-tall Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral.

Shortly after the launch, SpaceX successfully guided part of the rocket back to Earth and landed it upright back on the launch pad at Landing Zone 1.

This success has the potential to change spaceflight as we know it.

Here's how the historic landing worked, and what it might mean for spaceflight.

Right now we rely on rockets to launch things like satellites and supplies for the International Space Station into space.

But just one rocket costs over $60 million, and you can only use it once. Amazon founder and space entrepreneur Jeff Bezos has compared it to using a 747 to fly across the country once and then throwing the plane away.

That's why Elon Musk's SpaceX and Bezos' rocket company Blue Origin are trying to develop reusable rockets.

Jack Daniel's is the military's favorite whiskey.

According to Jack Daniel's Master Distiller Jeff Arnett, the US military buys the most of the brand's premium Single Barrel whiskey in the world.

Only 1 in 100 barrels makes the cut for the select 94-proof Single Barrel whiskey.

When buying a 560-pound, 53-gallon barrel, clients are invited to tour the distillery, meet the Master Distiller, and sample various barrels.

A barrel has approximately 250 bottles, which swings from $9,000 to $12,ooo since no two barrels have the same volume of whiskey.

Price: $9,000-$12,ooo

Instability throughout large parts of the world in 2015 have furthered exacerbated a growing refugee crisis in Turkey, parts of the Middle East, and throughout Europe. 

Coming from war zones in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and portions of sub-Saharan Africa, the refugees have been driven towards Europe with the hopes of finding a better life for themselves and their families. The scope of the crisis is almost impossible to grasp: in 2015, over 1 million refugees have entered Europe alone. 

To give an idea of the struggles that so many have faced, we have compiled 21 of the most heartbreaking images of the ongoing refugee crisis.

For the music aficionado: the "Sonos PLAY: 1"

Sonos makes high-quality wireless speakers, and the Sonos PLAY: 1 is a great gift for anyone who listens to music or to the radio.

You can use it to play your own music collection or stream any of your favorite services — Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, and TuneIn (for local radio) are all there. And you can also set alarms so in the morning you can wake up to whatever you want to hear.

Price: $199 for one, or $349 for two. 

For the music obsessed: A subscription to Spotify

Spotify is the best on-demand streaming music service, and gift cards are a great gift to anyone — even if they already subscribe to Spotify.

The company made some huge improvements this year and added an incredibly popular feature called Discover Weekly, a playlist that each week is updated with about two hours worth of music that the service thinks you'll like.

Price: Spotify Premium service is $10 per month and you can buy gift cards in various amounts at store like Target, Best Buy, Walmart, 7-11, Safeway, Kroger, and more.

The Roku 3 is the streaming media player I recommend for most people. It's easy to use and has the most apps — more than 2,500 — so there's always something to watch. Plus, it has voice search, so to find a show, actress, or movie, just speak into the remote.

It's the best way to get Netflix, Hulu, HBO, and thousands more "channels," on the biggest screen in your home. 

Price: $99, but on sale right now for $79 to $89.

The first movie installment of "Star Wars" premiered in 1977, and anticipation for each new sequel and prequel has snowballed ever since.

With "The Force Awakens" being released, many of the films' beloved original actors — including Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher — are reprising their roles. But others won't be around for Episode VII.

So what's everybody from the original three "Star Wars" movies been up to in the past 38 years? Scroll through to find out.

THEN: Harrison Ford was working as a carpenter to supplement his flailing acting career. But after "Star Wars: A New Hope" came out, he rocketed to stardom.

He knew director George Lucas because they worked together on "American Graffiti." Ford was helping stand in for screen tests while other actors auditioned. To his surprise, Lucas offered him the part without even telling him he was up for it.

Source: Business Insider

NOW: Ford is a bona-fide A-list movie star and playing Han Solo again.

The first three "Star Wars" films put Ford on the map. Since then, he starred in the "Indiana Jones" movie franchise and plenty of other films from the 1980s until today. He recently returned to the action genre in "The Expendables" and its sequel.

Most importantly, though, he's reprising his role as Han Solo in "The Force Awakens." Fans around the world lost it when he appeared at the end of an early teaser to say to his Wookiee sidekick, "Chewie, we're home."

THEN: Carrie Fisher had had some small roles, but was predominantly known as the daughter of singer Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds until being cast in "Star Wars: A New Hope."

In her feature-film debut, she had a small but memorable role as a rambunctious teen in the Warren Beatty vehicle "Shampoo" in 1975. She landed "Star Wars" two years later.

Gone are the days of doing all of our banking at a brick-and-mortar building. Sure, sometimes we still stop by our local bank branch to get a cashier's check when we need one, but for the most part, our banking these days is done online.

The world of online banking is growing, and if you're more than a little confused by all the different banking apps you can find in iTunes, we’re right there with you. Lucky for you (and us), Nick Clements, MagnifyMoney's co-founder, spent years working for banks before launching his own business, so he knows a thing or two about the better products out there.

The following are the personal finance apps he recommends trying out.

SEE ALSO: 7 free apps that help you save money without thinking about it

1. LevelMoney

Cost: Free on iTunes and Android

What it does: For staying on budget, Clements likes the way LevelMoney helps him track his cash flow. "I don't like making a plan by expense category," he said. "Instead, I like knowing how much I can afford to spend each day to ensure that my discretionary spending remains on target and within budget."

The LevelMoney app helps him accomplish this by calculating a daily "spendable" amount to help him stay on track. "So, if I spend a bit more than I should one weekend," Clements explained, "my daily spendable allowance goes down."

2. CreditKarma

Cost: Free on iTunes and Android

What it does: Whether you're trying to grow your credit score or not, it's a good idea to keep your eye on it, and the CreditKarma app gives you free access to your VantageScore, which is calculated using TransUnion and Experian credit reports.

"It also gives me access to a summary version of my credit reports from those two bureaus, updated regularly," says Clements. "This helps me ensure my identity hasn’t been stolen."

3. Ally Bank

Cost: Free on iTunes and Android

What it does: While Clements admits that the app itself could use some upgrades, it's the perks of sticking with Ally Bank that have him continuing to use it. "I'm with Ally because of the great rates," said Clements. "So I primarily do all of my banking and paying bills with the app." (Check out what's great about the online bank right here … hello checking accounts with interest!)

4. Betterment

Cost: Free on iTunes and Android

What it does: While it's a nice idea to combine all of your retirement accounts into one system where you can quickly glance at the overall balance, try not to fall into the trap of checking them too often.

"I have rolled over my old 401(k) accounts to Betterment, and I have the app on my iPhone, but I try to ignore it," said Clements. "I don't expect to use these funds until the year 2045, so daily stock movements are not that important to me." However, when curiosity gets the best of you and you do take a peek, at least Betterment has a great user interface to help you out.

With 2016 just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about your New Year's resolutions.

To help you come up with ideas, Business Insider asked industry leaders and world-changing entrepreneurs, including Tony Robbins, Barbara Corcoran, and Arianna Huffington, to share what they've resolved to do over the next year.

Find out what 31 super-successful people plan to accomplish in 2016.

Libby Kane, Kathleen Elkins, Rich Feloni, Shana Lebowitz, Rachel Gillett, Natalie Walters, Jacqui Kenyon, and James Kosur contributed reporting.

Arianna Huffington, cofounder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post, hopes to get enough sleep.

"My resolution is to embrace my own message when it comes to getting enough sleep — which, for me, means seven to eight hours. Ninety-five percent of the time, I do it. But my new book, 'The Sleep Revolution,' comes out in April, and having been through book tours before, I know they're not necessarily conducive to a healthy, sane, rejuvenating sleep schedule.

"So the timing is perfect, because I firmly believe in the power of certain milestone moments to help us hold ourselves accountable and make changes in our lives. And going public with it (like this) is a really good way to make the commitment stick."

Randy Garutti, CEO of Shake Shack, will focus on four things in particular.

The year "2016 is all about thoughtful listening, strategic planning for years ahead, mentoring my team, and a lot of SoulCycle!"

Kevin Cleary, CEO of Clif Bar, plans to compete in one of the toughest athletic events in the world.

"Ironman Kona is one of the toughest athletic events in the world, and I've always admired the athletes who compete in the event — not just for their mental and physical endurance during the race but also for their commitment to the intense training.

"In October 2016, I'm taking on Ironman Kona myself. To get ready for the race, I'll be doing long runs in the hills around my house, tackling an epic bike commute and waking up early to swim countless laps in the pool. I also hope to inspire my three boys to join me in on some of the training. There's nothing better than taking on an adventure as a family."

Tech companies have outfitted driverless cars with lasers, cameras, and sensors so that they have an awareness of their surroundings.

But researchers at Cambridge University are taking a different approach — they are using a type of artificial intelligence called deep learning to teach cars to see just like humans.

Here's how their technique works and what it could mean for the future of driverless cars:

SEE ALSO: 2 designers used driverless car technology to create beautiful works of art

Driverless cars, like Google's, use a combination of sensors, cameras, radar, lasers, and GPS to detect objects around them. According to Google's Self-Driving Car Project website, sensors on the car can detect objects up to two football fields away.

But Cambridge University researchers are teaching cars to see like humans using deep learning. To do so, the researchers are taking photos of objects and tagging each individual pixel. This way, when the car sees something through a camera, it can deduce what it is in real-time.

For example, you could teach a machine to recognize certain characteristics of an animal (does it have paws? four legs?) so it can then piece together on its own that the specific animal is a dog.

For driverless cars to operate safely, they must be able to determine where they are, what's around them, and what they're going to do next, Alex Kendall, an engineering graduate student at the University of Cambridge, said in a video. "What we are trying to do is to achieve all of this with just vision," he said.

Take a bite out of a VeganBurg burger and you might be surprised to find that it tastes like a fast food burger. The texture of the plant-based patty reminds you of something you might get from McDonald's. It's nothing special.

But that's kind of what San Francisco's new vegan burger joint, VeganBurg, is going for. 

These days, fast-food burgers run the gamut from the classic McDonald's Big Mac to Jack In The Box's Hella-Peño Burger Munchie Meal. There aren't many quick-service burger options for vegetarians, let alone vegans.

Then there's VeganBurg, a plant-based burger restaurant that got its start in Singapore. The chain opened its first US location in San Francisco's earthy-crunchy Haight neighborhood in December. We stopped by to see if it "meats" the hype.

More than 8,600 miles from its Singapore counterparts, the first VeganBurg in the U.S. is located on San Francisco's bustling and quirky Haight Street.

Inside, tables made of palettes, hardwood flooring, and potted plants create an industrial, "safari-chic" vibe.

AstroTurf blankets the dining stools, just like at VeganBurg in Singapore.

Not every apparel retailer had a great 2015.

In fact, some brands seriously struggled.

These are some brands that did not fare too well — many suffered from low sales and misguided sartorial choices. Some companies even had to file for bankruptcy.

Here's hoping 2016 will be better for them.

But as more malls close— and therefore, threaten traditional retailers — it's becoming increasingly difficult to stay positive.

SEE ALSO: This hot apparel startup is being called the next J. Crew

J. Crew

J. Crew has been on the down and out since 2014. 

In its most recent quarter, comparable sales were down 12%. "This [change] does not happen overnight," CEO Mickey Drexler iterated on a recent earnings call.

"As its latest set of results attest, J Crew is a mess," Neil Saunders, CEO of consulting firm Conlumino, wrote in a research note this December.

Gap

Gap's woes have been apparent, and CEO Art Peck has not been shy about detailing the company's struggles.

Its sister brand, Old Navy, has been outpacing it.

Peck explained on a earnings call this summer that shoppers should expect to see changes come spring 2016. 

The brand has started taking steps to improve, by making major hires at the executive level and getting designs in stores faster. This fall, the selections looked more promising, but third quarter earnings showed yet another dip in comparable sales by 4%.

Macy's

In the third quarter, the brand showed it was hurting — same store sales fell 3.9%, and the brand is anticipating a dip in the fourth quarter, as well.

On the call, CFO Karen Hoguet outlined four reasons the brand is showing wear and tear: people aren't buying fall apparel because the unseasonably warm weather, tourist spending is down, growth at the namesake stores is slowing, and the demand for its largest brand.

To help spike spending, Hoguet said the brand would increase sales. But sales — while appealing to consumers — can hurt retailers.  "That will be good for consumers, but it will obviously put pressure on our own margins," CEO Terry Lundgren said on an earnings call.

Worse, Macy's has delved into serious discountingwith its Backstage off-shoot, and it could hurt the department store. 

The first time someone meets you, it takes them about three seconds to determine whether they like you or want to do business with you in the future, said Jean Baur, a career coach and author of the book "The Essential Job Interview Handbook."

This is crucial when it comes to meetings where that first impression makes all the difference, such as a job interview or client presentation. From your posture to the jewelry you wear, key details can have a significant impact on how you're perceived. 

Here are a few ways to make a brilliant first impression in a flash.

This is an update of an article originally written by Vivian Giang.

DON'T MISS: 9 things you're doing that make people dislike you immediately

1. Grooming

First and foremost, you need to look like you take care of yourself. This means paying attention to your fingernails, hair, and makeup. Baur said to make sure that your fingernails are clean and trimmed or nicely manicured. If you wear makeup, you should make sure it doesn't draw attention to itself, but is used to highlight your features.

Don't forget to also pay attention to your feet. Career expert Nicole Williams said her biggest pet peeve is when women wear open-toed shoes without getting pedicures. "If you're going to show your toes, make sure your toes are well-groomed," she said.

If you are a man who is interested in sporting facial hair, make sure that it works for you, said Adam P. Causgrove, chairman of The American Mustache Institute. 

Think about it like a haircut — not every cut is going to look good on every person, he said. Regardless, your facial hair needs to be kept trim and tidy to maintain a professional look.

2. Clothing

Whatever you wear, make sure it's appropriate in your industry. "Everyone draws their lines differently," said etiquette coach Barbara Pachter. "For example, you may be able to wear shorts, but not cutoffs. If your company has a dress code, follow it."

Baur advised: "If you're in banking, wear a navy blue, gray, or black suit (pantsuits are fine for women). But if you're in marketing, training, or academia, you have a wider choice. I like to wear bright colors, such as a red or turquoise, as they complement my coloring and reflect my personal style."

It's also important to consider how your color choices will play in the environment, said Pachter. "Darker colors usually convey a stronger impression than lighter ones." If you're giving a presentation, make sure the color you're wearing doesn't blend in with the background behind you.

According to 2,100 hiring managers and human resource professionals who participated in a CareerBuilder survey, blue and black are the best colors to wear to a job interview, and orange is the worst. Conservative colors, such as black, blue, gray, and brown, seem to be the safest bet when meeting someone for the first time in a professional setting, whereas colors that signal more creativity, like orange, may be too loud. 

3. Jewelry

"Keep your jewelry subtle unless you're an opera singer or nightclub entertainer," said Baur. "And don't wear things that will clank when you rest your hand on the table or that make noise when you gesture."

Accessories are meant to complement your outfit, not overpower it. "I once met a woman who had a ring on every finger," Pachter said. "You couldn't look at anything else."

Some actors still demand big paychecks even when their box office isn't necessarily delivering on the promise of their casting.

Forbes released its list of Hollywood's most overpaid actors. It includes some big names like Jonny Depp (at No.1 ), Will Smith, and Brad Pitt. And everyone on the list is a man.

While Depp helmed one of the most profitable movie franchises in "Pirates of the Caribbean," his more recent efforts like "Mortdecai" and "Transcendence" have bombed.

How did the magazine come up with this list?

It took the rough operating incomes of the actors' last three significant films (box office minus budget), then divided those numbers by the stars' estimated salaries for the films. The resulting numbers estimate how much the actors returned on the investment into them.

Here's who's on the Forbes list of Hollywood's most overpaid movie actors.

There are two weeks left in the NFL regular season.

That means while many teams are getting ready to hit the golf course and enjoy a long offseason, many other teams are fighting for playoff spots, with each minute being crucial to their postseason hopes.

Week 16 presents some big games with playoff implications: the Broncos and Bengals square off in a big game for the AFC playoffs, the Jets fight for the AFC Wild Card against the conference-leading Patriots, the Cardinals and Packers battle in what will say a lot about the state of the NFC, the Eagles and Redskins battle for the NFC East and a possible playoff spot.

Every week means something in the short NFL season, but to date, Week 16 feels like the most important week of the season.

Here's a look at your Week 16 power rankings:

1. Carolina Panthers

Record: 14-0

Week 16 opponent: at Atlanta Falcons

Week 15 MVP: We’ve given it to him just about every week, but there’s perhaps no week in which Cam Newton has deserved it more than this one. His performance against the Giants was masterful: 345 passing yards, five touchdowns, no interceptions, and an additional 100 yards rushing. He’s the first quarterback to ever do that.

One thing to know: The Giants believe that the Panthers threatened Odell Beckham Jr. during warm-ups with baseball bats and homophobic slurs.

2. New England Patriots

Record: 12-2

Week 16 opponent: at New York Jets

Goldman Sachs has added three new bankers to its inner circle.

On Monday, CEO Lloyd Blankfein and President Gary Cohn announced in a memo, seen by Business Insider, that Gregg Lemkau, Marc Nachmann and Jim Esposito would be joining the firm's management committee.

Joining the committee is a prestigious reward for rising stars within the firm.

Lemkau, Nachmann, and Esposito will replace Gordon Dyal, John Weinberg, and Christopher Cole on the panel, all of whom are retiring. Another banker, Gene Sykes, remains at Goldman but has left the committee.

They will be joining the likes of CFO Harvey Schwartz, CIO Marty Chavez, and Blankfein and Cohn on the committee.

Here is what you need to know about the inner circle's three newest members:

Gregg Lemkau

Lemkau is cohead of global mergers and acquisitions and based in New York.

The business he leads has crushed it this year, topping the league tables and raking in $2.6 billion in revenues for the year up to December 17, according to data from Dealogic. Goldman has an 11.7% global share in the M&A business, according to Dealogic.

Before leading global M&A, Lemkau was head of M&A for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, as well as for Asia Pacific. Other roles he has held include global cohead of the tech, media, and telecom banking group, cohead of global healthcare, cohead of high-technology M&A, and COO of the investment-banking division.

Lemkau joined Goldman Sachs in 1992 and was named partner 10 years later. He is a member of the investment-banking division's executive and operating committees.

Marc Nachmann

Nachmann is cohead of the global financing group and a member of the investment-banking division's executive and operating committees. He is based in New York.

The financing group houses equity and debt capital markets and the bank's loan business. The bank ranks as the No. 1 equity capital-markets bookrunner, working on more than $70 billion in equity deals, and has been making headway in the debt market, too.

Nachmann is cochair of the investment-banking division's risk committee and is a member of a handful of firmwide committees, including risk, capital, investment policy, and business standards.

Nachmann joined Goldman Sachs in 1994 in the corporate-finance department. He made partner in 2004. Before his current position, he was cohead of global natural resources.

Jim Esposito

Esposito is the other cohead of the global-financing group. He is based in London.

After joining Goldman Sachs in 1995, Esposito worked in emerging-markets debt. He later became head of the Europe, Middle East, and Africa financing group and COO of the investment-banking division.

Esposito serves on a number of committees, including the investment-banking division's executive and operating committees, as well as capital, risk, and the IBD client and business-standards committee. He made partner in 2006.

Esposito's brothers are bankers, too — one at Goldman Sachs, and the other at Morgan Stanley. His father was CFO of Chase Manhattan from 1987 to 1991.
