Marci Rossell is a world-renowned economist and financial expert who speaks candidly on the nexus of economics, politics, culture, and the media. As the lively Chief Economist for CNBC and the former co-host of the well-known “pre-market” morning news and talk show Squawk Box, Rossell is revered for taking complex economic issues and making them relevant to people's lives, families, and careers.

Marci discusses America’s current and future role in the global economy, factors responsible for recessions, how Washington influences Wall Street and the markets, and the specific forecast for the near future of the U.S. economy. She is well-versed in the stock market, investor behavior, consumer confidence, and what accountable capitalism looks like this year and beyond.

Prior to her career in broadcast journalism, Marci served as Corporate Economist and Investment Spokesperson for Oppenheimer Funds, one of the nation’s largest mutual fund companies. She began her career as an economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, earning a Ph.D. in Economics from Southern Methodist University, and before moving to Wall Street, she was an expert witness for Deloitte & Touche in court cases involving economic issues.

With a knack for making complex topics more digestible, Rossell’s authentic, high-energy persona delivers a stimulating and often optimistic economic outlook, providing an insider’s perspective on key factors of economic disruption.
