Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo reveals why she left CNBC, how she deals with critics in the social media age and how she defines success in an interview with Moira Forbes of Forbes Women posted Friday.
“I had been at CNBC for 20 years, and I loved every minute of it,” said Bartiromo. “But my decision to leave was two-fold. No. 1, I felt like audiences were changing, and I needed to change. After 20 years, I needed to start thinking about alternatives.
“The issue I had at CNBC was that it was constantly focusing on the short-term…I felt like viewers wanted more.”
Bartiromo also talks about the surprise reaction of some people when it was announced she was joining Fox.
She later said, “I want to constantly learn. I want to become better.”
