Lori Ann LaRocco Biography

Lori Ann LaRocco is a journalist and author specializing in financial media, global trade, and supply chain reporting. As senior editor of guests and global supply chain reporter for CNBC Business News, LaRocco coordinates interviews and special on-location productions for all shows on the network. She joined CNBC as a producer for Maria Bartiromo's primetime show, Market Week. Before joining CNBC, LaRocco worked as an anchor, reporter, and assignment editor in various local news markets across the United States.

LaRocco is recognized for her extensive network of contacts in the business and political sectors, providing insights into financial developments and leadership strategies. Her relationships with industry leaders have enabled CNBC to break news on significant business deals. LaRocco's expertise includes politics and working with prominent figures in industry. Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Forbes, Newsday, and other publications.

LaRocco is the author of several books, including "Embracing Your Past to Empower Your Future: Four Families Descended from Slaves Reflect on Stories of Strength, Love & Gratitude," "Trade War: Containers Don't Lie, Navigating the Bluster," "Dynasties of the Sea: The Untold Stories of the Postwar Shipping Pioneers," "Opportunity Knocking," "Dynasties of the Sea: The Ships and Entrepreneurs Who Ushered in the Era of Free Trade," and "Thriving in the New Economy: Lessons from Today's Top Business Minds." In "Opportunity Knocking," LaRocco draws on her relationships with organizational leaders to share their stories and insights, including Ford CEO Alan Mulally's approach to revitalizing the American auto industry.

In "Embracing Your Past to Empower Your Future," co-written with her daughter Abby Wallace, LaRocco explores the history of four Black families whose ancestors were enslaved, examining how their experiences have influenced subsequent generations. Author royalties and nonprofit donations from this book support the Each One, Teach One book stipend, which provides funds to descendants of the enslaved to help offset the cost of college books.
