Erik Schatzker
Editor-at-Large, Bloomberg Television
Erik Schatzker hosts conversations with the world's most powerful, interesting and influential executives, investors, financiers and policymakers for Bloomberg Television. His recent interviews include Bridgewater's Ray Dalio, SEC Chair Mary Jo White and Barclays CEO Jes Staley.
Schatzker has a deep background in business news and years of experience covering many of the most demanding topics in finance and the biggest stories on Wall Street, from the dot-com bubble to the subprime-mortgage meltdown to the rise of hedge fund activism. Over two decades his assignments in pursuit of original reporting have taken him from anti-government protests in Athens to Western Australia's offshore gas fields.
The same interviewing skills that Schatzker puts to work on camera have made him an in-demand moderator at events ranging from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to the Milken Global Conference in Los Angeles. At Bloomberg Schatzker also co-chairs the Markets Most Influential Summit, an annual conference that brings together the top newsmakers in finance.
Prior to joining Bloomberg Television in 2007, Schatzker led Bloomberg's print coverage of financial services in the Americas. He began his career with the South Pacific Mail in Santiago, Chile, and served as a correspondent in Santiago and Toronto for Knight-Ridder Financial/Bridge News before starting with Bloomberg as a technology reporter in 1998. Schatzker's past positions with Bloomberg include Toronto Bureau Chief and Senior Writer for Bloomberg Markets magazine.
Schatzker earned a bachelor's degree in history from the University of Toronto. He's based in New York City.
