Marci Rossell

Former CNBC Chief Economist and Co-Host of SQUAWK BOX

“Economic Forecast: Impact of Seismic Surprises”

Marci Rossell, Ph.D., electrifies audiences nationwide, speaking on the nexus of economics, politics, culture, and the media. Her animated style was honed when she served as the popular, lively chief economist for CNBC. She takes complex economic issues, often dull in the button-down business press, and makes them relevant to people's lives, families, and careers.

Prior to her career in broadcast journalism, Rossell served as corporate economist and investment spokesperson for Oppenheimer Funds, one of the nation's largest mutual fund companies.

Before moving to Wall Street, she was an expert witness for Deloitte and Touche in court cases involving economic issues. Rossell began her career as an economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

Rossell earned a doctorate in economics from Southern Methodist University, where she was named one of the Young Alumni of the Year in 2002. She brings a world of experience—from Main Street to Wall Street—when discussing the U.S. economy, international events, and movements in capital markets. Her creative, thought-provoking commentary will ring in the audience members' ears well after she leaves the stage.
