In 1984, after several years as a news and feature reporter at Global, Pochmursky moved to the CBC, becoming host and senior reporter for Monitor, a weekly public affairs show. Five years later, she was invited to co-host -- and now executive produce -- Business World, the Southam-produced national business news show. Carried on the CBC's Newsworld, the show is viewed by some 1.5 million Canadians each week, making it the country's most popular business program. From that impressive perch, Pochmursky has made herself a household name in Canadian business, interviewing the presidents and CEOs of virtually every major corporation in the country.
Solid and down-to-earth, with a genuine modesty about her achievements (including a Genie nomination and several TV documentary awards), Pochmursky is a warm and inviting speaker who establishes instant rapport with her audiences.
She has a thousand stories to tell -- not only about the hundreds of major news and business events she's been part of, but about her days as a young woman struggling for recognition in a male-dominated industry; about the critical importance to women of understanding the world of investment and finance; and about her own irrepressible taste for adventure travel (she's climbed mountains in Africa and backpacked through the Orient.)
Christina Pochmursky, in short, will not only educate and inform any
audience. She'll also charm and delight them.
