Christina Scolaro, a 25-year veteran in the financial news industry, has joined Zito Partners as partner.

Most recently, Scolaro worked at CNBC’s flagship morning program, “Squawk Box,” as the show’s talent producer, bringing lawmakers, industry leaders and Fortune 500 CEOs to air during the live three-hour show.

Prior to “Squawk Box,” as CNBC senior producer, she managed the production of original content for CNBC’s digital and social platforms.

Scolaro previously worked at Bloomberg Television. Several of Scolaro’s Bloomberg years encompassed producing breaking news from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

“Christina’s experience in television news will be an asset to our clients as we help them build brand recognition against a key target audience,” said Deborah Kostroun, managing director of Zito Partners, in a statement. “I was fortunate to work with Christina during my time with Bloomberg; she is an exceptional professional.”

Zito Partners provides public relations, marketing communications and issues management support to a broad range of clients.
