Marci Rossell

Former CNBC Chief Economist and Co-host of SQUAWK BOX  | Expert Economic Forecaster

Marci Rossell is a world-renowned economist and financial expert who speaks candidly on the nexus of economics, politics, culture, and the media. She honed her animated style serving as Chief Economist for CNBC, where she became a household name and a must-watch source of financial news. The former co-host of the well-known “pre-market” morning news and talk show Squawk Box, Rossell 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 OppenheimerFunds, one of the nation’s largest mutual fund companies. Her success in the private sector led to her economic commentary being revered and ultimately her appointments on nationally syndicated talk shows. Before moving to Wall Street, she was an expert witness for Deloitte & Touche in court cases involving economic issues. Rossell began her career as an economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. She earned a Ph.D. in Economics from Southern Methodist University, where she was named one of the Young Alumni of the Year in 2002.
