Richard Quest is CNN's foremost international business correspondent and presenter of Quest Means Business; the definitive word on how we earn and spend our money. He is one of the most instantly recognisable members of the CNN team. The show destroys the myth that business is boring, bridging the gap between hard economics and entertaining television. CEOs and politicians make a point of appearing on Quest Means Business to justify results. Recent guests include Tim Geithner, U.S Secretary of the Treasury; Jose Manuel Barroso, European Commission President; Christine Lagarde, French Finance Minister; Alistair Darling, Former Chancellor of the Exchequer; and Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford. Quest’s dynamic and distinctive style has made him a unique figure in the field of business broadcasting. He has regularly reported from G20 meetings and attends the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland each year. Quest has covered every major stock market and financial crisis since Black Monday in 1987 and has reported from the key financial centres globally including Wall Street, London, Sao Paolo, Tokyo and Hong Kong. In addition Quest is the established airline and aviation correspondent at CNN and presents the monthly CNN Business Traveller show. As a business travel specialist, Quest has become a voice of authority on subjects like the launch of the Airbus A380. His coverage of breaking news, which has spanned two decades, has seen him report on a range of stories from the death of Yasser Arafat and the Lockerbie Pan Am 103 crash to the death of Michael Jackson. Prior to joining CNN he worked at the BBC, where he was the North America business correspondent, based on Wall Street for 12 years. Quest is British, holds an LLB (Hons) degree in Law from Leeds University, and was called to the Bar.
