Speaker: Catherine Murray
A refreshing new business anchor, BNN's Catherine Murray tracks, explains, and opines on the market--connecting with audiences through her personal style and eye for the big economic picture. What really sets Murray apart, though, is her considerable background working at the upper reaches of the corporate, financial, and retail worlds.
Murray is a co-host on BNN's Market Sense and the anchor of The Business News, Canada's leading business newscast. Her talks draw from her extensive experience in the fields of business, finance and retail. Before joining the BNN team in 2011, Murray was the Managing Director and Head of Institutional Equities at North South Capital, which she co-founded in 2009. Murray founded North South Capital to fill a need in the marketplace for money making ideas, transparency in terms of pay and incentives, and an emphasis on "the client comes first". If you focus your business on the client and put the client first, says Murray, you will succeed--even during times of economic uncertainty.
Prior to co-founding North South Capital, Murray was Vice-President of Institutional Sales and Trading at Deutsche Bank, and an associate at Goldman Sachs for Institutional Sales and Trading. She has extensive experience in the retail sector from her time as a specialty retail associate analyst at William Blair. Murray's expertise ranges from global macroeconomic trends to specific sector and industry analysis, breaking down the hottest business trends with unmatched eloquence and skill in her customizable talks.
