PANELIST 1
Ali Velshi is CNN's Chief Business Correspondent and host of YOUR $$$$$, CNN's weekend business roundtable program, a regular contributor and anchor for Issue #1, the network’s in-depth coverage initiative on the single issue that matters most to CNN's audience, and occasional host of Larry King Live.
Velshi also hosts The Ali Velshi Show, a weekly call-in radio program on both CNN Radio and CNN.com Live and fields viewer calls three times a week for the "Help Line" segment for HLN. Online users also listen to Velshi's podcast, "The Ali V Podcast," available at www.CNN.com/podcasting and on iTunes.
Based in New York, Velshi has become traditional media’s most reliable source for coverage and insight into the economic collapse and the U.S. government's bailout plans; the financial collapses of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG and Lehman Brothers; and Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, reporting on the impact of the storms on oil refineries. He was the first to scoop an interview with Tim Geithner in the midst of the AIG bonus scandal. He covered the Enron story at every step since it hit the national spotlight in 2001, including the guilty verdicts of Enron Corp.'s founder Kenneth Lay and former chief executive Jeffrey Skilling on conspiracy and fraud charges. He reported live from Ford headquarters in Dearborn, Mich., as the company announced the layoff of 30,000 workers. He was reporting live from an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico amid evacuation calls for Hurricane Katrina.
Born in Kenya and raised in Toronto, Velshi graduated from Queens University in Canada with a degree in religion. Velshi's first book, GIMME MY MONEY BACK: Your Guide to Beating the Financial Crisis, was released in January 2009.
