Herb Greenberg, a longtime business journalist who wrote a regular column for Marketwatch.com, TheStreet.com, The San Francisco Chronicle and others, has returned to business journalism with CNBC.
Greenberg will be a senior stocks commentator. He left business journalism two years ago to start a research firm.
“We are delighted to have Herb and Kate join the CNBC team,” said Jeremy Pink, senior vice president of business news, in a statement. “They are two of the smartest, savviest and well-respected business journalists anywhere.”
Said Greenberg in a statement: “I’m excited to return to CNBC as a full-time member of the best team in business journalism. I look forward to reconnecting with astute viewers and can’t wait to rejoin the good friends I’ve worked with over the years.”
Greenberg has been a financial journalist for more than 30 years and has most recently been co-president of Greenberg Meritz Research & Analytics. He is a former weekend investor columnist for The Wall Street Journal and a former senior columnist for MartketWatch.
Prior to joining MarketWatch, Greenberg was senior columnist for TheStreet.com. He previously spent 10 years as the “Business Insider” columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle and nearly seven years as Fortune magazine’s monthly “Against the Grain” columnist.
Before that, he was the New York financial correspondent for the Chicago Tribune and a financial reporter in its Chicago newsroom. Greenberg has held various positions at other media outlets including Crain’s Chicago Business and the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Greenberg holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Miami.
