Catherine Murray is one of the most trusted voices in Canadian business news, known for making Bay Street and Wall Street feel less like a maze and more like a conversation.
She spent nearly a decade as a senior anchor at BNN Bloomberg, where she led shows like The Close, Market Call Tonight, Business Day PM, and BNN Advisor.
Before the camera ever found her, Catherine was already deep in the world of finance, spending 15 years on Wall Street at names like Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and William Blair.
That mix of trading floor experience and on-air polish became her trademark.
