Kristin Myers

Kristin Myers, a senior writer at Yahoo Finance and an anchor of Yahoo Finance Live, is leaving the news organization.

Her last day is Friday.

“I’m extremely proud of all the work I’ve been able to do and all the stories I’ve been able to tell,” she wrote on Twitter.

She hosts the politics-focused 1 p.m. hour of Yahoo Finance Live each weekday. She is also one of the creators and hosts of “A Time for Change,” a weekly half-hour program that explores race, diversity, and inclusion in the world of business, finance, politics, and beyond.

Myers specializes in the intersection of politics, race, and finance. Before joining Yahoo, she helped launch Al Jazeera America, and worked at Bloomberg News and NBC News.
