Kurt Eichenwald

Kurt Eichenwald is an award-winning investigative journalist and a New York Times best-selling author. He uncovers corporate misbehavior and explains its effects on world markets, shareholder confidence, and a public that is becoming both unshockable and deeply disappointed. His new book "500 Days: Secrets and Lies in the Terror Wars" details the secrets of the war on terror. "The Informant," his book on agri-business price-fixing, became a Steven Soderbergh film starring Matt Damon.

Eichenwald is a senior writer at Newsweek, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, and a correspondent for MSNBC. He has been a two-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and is a two-time winner of the George Polk Award, with his most recent award for a series about allegations of corruption at the nation's largest private hospital chain. Besides the Polk Awards, he is a recipient of the Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism, the SABEW Award for business enterprise reporting, and has been nominated for an Emmy Award. His bestseller "Conspiracy of Fools," the definitive book on Enron, is the basis for the forthcoming television series "Conspiracy."

Eichenwald has written six New York Times national bestsellers, including "Serpent on the Rock," "The Informant," "Conspiracy of Fools," "500 Days: Secrets and Lies in the Terror Wars," "A Mind Unraveled," and "The Big Lie." His work focuses on confronting corporate fraud, challenges of corporate compliance and governance, and the benefits of adopting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. Warner Brothers has optioned "500 Days: Secrets and Lies in the Terror Wars" for the screen, highlighting the impact of his investigative prowess on multiple media platforms.
