Kayla Tausche Biography

Kayla Tausche is an American broadcast journalist whose career spans more than two decades in financial and political media. Tausche holds a bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in business journalism and international politics, where she received honors for research analyzing international newspaper coverage of the Hong Kong handover from British to Chinese rule. Her academic background in economics and global affairs has informed her reporting at the intersection of markets, policy, and government.

Tausche began her journalism career at Associated Press in the Brussels bureau before joining Bloomberg News, where she focused on the consumer and retail sectors. She also worked at DealReporter, a Financial Times publication, as an assistant editor covering mergers and acquisitions. Tausche joined CNBC, where she reported on the banking industry, corporate finance, and major events such as the bankruptcy of MF Global, the Occupy Wall Street movement, the UK phone hacking scandal, and Facebook's initial public offering. At CNBC, she served as a substitute anchor for shows including "Squawk Box," "Squawk on the Street," and "Power Lunch," and co-anchored "Squawk Alley."

After more than a decade at CNBC, Tausche joined CNN as an anchor and senior White House correspondent, reporting on the administration, Cabinet agencies, and elections. She co-hosted CNBC's election night and Inauguration Day coverage and led reporting on the presidential campaign. Tausche broke news on the White House's response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, U.S. sanctions against Russia and China, and federal rescue packages addressing bank failures. Her investigative reporting included coverage of the White House's airport screening program and a failed investment deal between the Chinese government and the state of West Virginia.

Tausche served as CNN's senior White House correspondent based in Washington, D.C., contributing to coverage of economic, technology, and foreign policy issues. Her career trajectory has drawn comparisons to Erin Burnett, a CNN anchor and former CNBC host. Following her work in television news, Tausche became a managing director at RedBird Capital Partners, focusing on the firm's sports, media, and entertainment investments, strategic partnerships, and growth initiatives. Her experience reflects expertise in American journalism, financial markets, and media industry leadership.
