Andrew Ross Sorkin is an award-winning journalist for The New York Times and a co-anchor of Squawk Box, CNBC’s signature morning program. He is also the founder and editor-at-large of DealBook, an online daily financial report published by The New York Times that he started in 2001.
Sorkin is the author of Too Big to Fail: How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System — and Themselves, which chronicled the events of the 2008 financial crisis. The book won the Gerald Loeb Award for Best Business Book and spent more than six months on the New York Times Best Seller list. It was adapted as a movie for HBO Films in 2011, which Sorkin co-produced; the film was nominated for 11 Emmy Awards.
Sorkin is also co-creator of the drama series Billions on Showtime and is known for long-form interviews with leading figures in business, politics, and culture.
His most recent book, 1929: The Inside Story of the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History, draws on historical records and newly uncovered documents to take readers inside the chaos of the crash and the battle between Wall Street and Washington during one of the most dramatic periods in financial history.
Over the years, Sorkin has broken news of major mergers and acquisitions in the pages of The New York Times and has been at the forefront of Wall Street reporting. He covered the collapse of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and the government bailout of A.I.G. during the 2008 financial crisis, and has reported on major deals including Chase’s acquisition of J.P. Morgan and Vodafone’s $183 billion hostile bid for Mannesmann.
He began writing for The New York Times in 1995 before finishing high school and is a graduate of Cornell University.
