From correspondent at the Financial Times in London, to anchor at CNBC, NBC and CNNI, she covered pivotal moments in history from the Gulf War to the aftermath of 9/11 and other financial, natural and man-made disasters. She interviewed many influencers from Margaret Thatcher to Donald Trump; Jack Welch to Carolina Herrera, over the decades, leading her to conceive of and launch the sponsored series “Leading Women” on CNNI. The series told the “backstory” of women in leadership and sought to empower women from all backgrounds. Her love of storytelling brought her to Senegal where she met the Talibés and documented their plight from climate change in her award winning documentary film “Far From Home.”
