Jenna Lee one of top 99 women

Fox Business Network anchor Jenna Lee is profiled on AskMen.com, where she is one of its top 99 women and gives them the quote: “My looks aren’t going to help me explain mortgage-backed securities.”

The profile states, “There was a frustrating period when Jenna Lee couldn’t get in the door as a television personality with a business slant. A corporate background and an education in journalism didn’t seem to be enough, despite the added credibility of working for Forbes.com. Jenna Lee’s fortunes changed with the birth of FOX Business Network, a network that has proved to be the ideal television grounds for her blossoming talent. One of the original anchors of FOX Business Morning, Jenna Lee has become a visible (and valuable) business personality during a global recession and parlayed her talents into online segments for FOX Business News Live and regular reports for FOX News on Happening Now.

“Her busy mornings have recently gained an extra entertainment kick with the arrival of media personality Don Imus. Jenna Lee is a media business professional who practices what she preaches. As far as her own financial habits go, she prefers to save first and spend later. She gives shout-outs to her parents for helping to instill her with good financial judgment. Nothing can compete with true life experience, however, and Jenna also credits her frugal university lifestyle of the past and its associated time-management crunch with helping her stay responsible and spend within her means. Now she’s happy to share her financial wisdom through the FOX airwaves and in a recent feature for Cosmopolitan.”
