After joining the Financial Post, Amanda became the newspaper’s New York correspondent. In New York she made the leap to television, becoming part of the team that launched BNN. Before long she moved to CNN as a reporter and anchor. Today, as CBC’s senior business correspondent and co-host of The Lang & O’Leary Exchange, this Gemini award-winning business journalist regularly interviews the world’s most powerful and influential figures, giving her unprecedented access to the key decision makers and influencers in Canadian business. She covers topics as diverse as Israeli politics and music copyright infringement, and is equally at home talking to ambassadors as she is talking to movie stars. Amanda’s engaging style is undoubtedly a product of her many years stick-handling the vagaries of live television!
