Richard Quest Biography

As CNN’s international business correspondent, Richard Quest is one of the most recognizable and trusted authorities on television. His approachable on-air style translates well to live events.

Serving double duty as CNN’s business editor-at-large and the host of Quest Means Business, Quest is always where the news is breaking. He’s ready to share his finside stories and – even more importantly – his expert instruction that will surely enlighten and empower your audience.

Quest is a British citizen and holds a law degree from Leeds University. Before joining CNN, he was the BBC’s North America business correspondent. Quest delivers industry news, insights and then some – he’s also the face of CNN’s coverage of major events in the United Kingdom. He led the reporting on the Brexit vote in 2016, as well as insight into the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

In his journalism career, he’s covered everything from the Lockerbie Pan Am 103 crash to the COVID-19 pandemic. He’s interviewed such notable subjects as The Dalai Lama and Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner. His work as a business journalist led the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) to award Quest with a lifetime achievement award. He has also won an Emmy award for his 2010 Chilean mining accident coverage.

Consider Quest’s street cred and gift for connecting and energizing an audience. Topics can be as diverse as business and personal finances, economics, and technology and innovation.

Richard Quest Reviews

  • Richard was an absolute delight to work with from soup to nuts. His engagement from the pre-planning calls to the post-conference wrap-up is noticeably different because he is adamant about understanding your point of view and ensuring he delivered against it. His delivery combines entertainment with information—it’s not every day you get a speaker in a suit moving chairs around onstage to mimic the discomforts of airplane cabins and chuckling all the way through it. Truly a pleasure to work with and he made understanding complicated issues like airline connectivity and capacity, digestible and easy to follow. I highly recommend Richard and not only will you be more than pleased with the deliverable, but also the process of getting there.”
