Maria Bartiromo and Jeanne Tripplehorn bio

Maria Bartiromo has been praised for her performance as an American television journalist. Her shows are very loved and she's the first journalist to live report at the New York Stock Exchange. Being a veteran broadcaster having a total of two decades of experience covering economies and business, Bartiromo was instrumental in establishing CNBC as one of the top in its business and economic segment. It is easy to see that her highly successful career being a reporter was designed specifically for women. Maria struggled with picking a path she wanted to pursue as a woman. Maria could one day decide to be a musician and later an interior designer. The thrill of journalism was just too compelling for her to leave out. She's not only an outstanding journalist but she's also a role-model for women trying to make it in the male-dominated field. In addition to being one of "50 Faces of Decade" she was also the first female journalist inducted into Cable Hall of Fame. Also, she is an author as well as a columnist.
